Tourmaline Jewelry
Most gemstones settle on a single color. Tourmaline never has to. It's one of the only gems that occurs in nearly every shade found in nature — sometimes several within a single crystal. At G Marie, we've curated tourmaline jewelry from the world's most celebrated designers: pieces that range from the deep black of schorl tourmaline to the rose-red of rubellite to the split, two-toned watermelon stones that hold two colors at once. Whether you're drawn to the quiet weight of black tourmaline in gold or the saturated glow of a rubellite pendant, you'll find it here.
The October Birthstone
Tourmaline shares October with opal — the only month with two official birthstones, and for good reason. Where opal shifts through every color at once, tourmaline claims each color as entirely its own: rich pinks, deep greens, opaque blacks, and rare bi-color stones that hold two hues side by side. Its name comes from the Sinhalese tura mali, meaning "mixed" or "multi-colored stone" — a fitting origin for a gem that, according to old legend, traveled up from the earth along a rainbow and picked up every color it passed along the way. It's also one of the most practical fine gemstones for everyday wear: at 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, it holds up to daily use far better than many softer colored stones.
To give someone tourmaline jewelry is to give them a gem that refuses to be defined by a single shade — a fitting gift for anyone born in October, or anyone drawn to a stone that contains multitudes.
Types of Tourmaline
Opaque and deep, black tourmaline (also known as schorl) is the most widely found variety of the stone. Its bold, saturated color and grounded presence make it a versatile choice for statement pieces.
Soft, warm, and endlessly wearable, pink tourmaline spans everything from a pale blush to a deeper rose, making it one of the most collectible and versatile stones in the family.
Ranging from soft mint to deep forest, green tourmaline is prized for the breadth of tone found within a single color family. The richer, more saturated greens are especially sought after by collectors.
The name given to tourmaline's most saturated pink-to-red stones, rubellite is often treated as the benchmark the rest of the pink family is measured against, and its finest examples are highly prized.
A true bi-color stone, cut to reveal a pink center ringed in green — nature's version of its namesake fruit. Because no two are ever cut quite alike, each is a distinctive collector's stone.
Instantly recognizable for its vivid, almost neon blue-to-green glow, paraiba is a rare copper-bearing tourmaline and one of the most sought-after gems in the world. Its scarcity and electric color place it among the most collectible varieties of the stone.

Because a single tourmaline crystal can hold more than one color, multi-color stones often combine two or three tones within one gem. Their one-of-a-kind character makes them favorites among collectors.
