The green tourmalines can come in many various tones. Some of them are very delicate, others so dark that the green color can only be determined when the stone is held against the light. There are green tourmalines in fine leek hues, but also in vivid yellowish-green, olive green and brownish-green nuances. And there are especially exceptional tourmalines in the range from blue-green to dark bottle-green. These, indeed, are its best colors. They are uncommon and much sought-after.

The cutting of a tourmaline requires special care, since the color intensity of most green tourmalines is differently developed depending on the direction of growth. Therefore, dark stones have to be cut in such a way that the table is parallel to the main axis. With light stones, on the other hand, the table surface should be perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, to receive more depth of color. When aligning the cut, the cutter must pay great attention to these facts, otherwise the cut gemstone will end up too light or too dark.
