Tourmaline derives from the Sinhalese term "turamali", which translates as "stone of mixed colors". The very name refers to the unique spectrum of colors displayed by this gemstone, which is second to none in the realm of precious stones. One of the most versatile of gemstones, tourmaline is available in every color, from colorless to black. It can show every tone from pastel to dark, and can exhibit various colors in the same stone.
Tourmaline is of high clarity, has very few inclusions and is quite durable (rating of 7-7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale), all of which make tourmaline a very attractive buy. Large sizes are affordable as well.
Oval tourmaline gems are available in a variety of sizes, including calibrated stones. We have matching oval pairs and lots of tourmaline from Mozambique and other sources. You can use the search filters at the top of the page to filter oval tourmaline gems by color, size, price, origin, carat weight, and other factors. This will enable you to find the perfect tourmaline gems for your jewelry project.

ease of going through site and making purchase. will update when item received
I was looking for a gem to put in my grandmother’s necklace for an event. GemSelect made it easy to narrow down what I was looking for, had a great price, and was very convenient.
I have recently been updating some old jewelry and wanted to add gemstones to some of the pieces. I am amazed at the selection available at GemSelect and found exactly what I was looking for. The prices were very reasonable as well. I would definitely purchase from you again if I am in the market for gemstones again in the future.
I've been searching on this website for a while, constantly considering different gems. The prices are great, check out and shopping cart are easily readable, product pricing and selection is amazing. Everything is very easy to navigate and easy to understand.
If you want a gem that you can trust to not be treated, or if it is it’s disclosed this is the place! There’s something for everybody. I really like knowing that the picture of the item is the one I’m buying, not a sample or stock photo. If you make jewelry, buy gems here! You can even buy a gem and have it set by a jeweler. Again, they have an amazing inventory, and prices are more than fair. You won’t be disappointed! I just wish they sold uncut gems. Sometimes I just want a specimen in the crystal form. I’m surprised they had no quartz from Arkansas, but they have a great selection of anything I’ve ever looked for.
I fell in love with my beautiful blue turquoise stone. When I received the stone it is more beautiful than the picture showed. I can hardly wait to design my pendant!)
I love this website. I have been browsing for years and now can utilise the stones in jewellery. Sooo many stones and so little spare time to make them into beautiful things
