What is special about 1-2 carat Green Tourmaline stones?
Stones in the 1-2 carat range are ideal for fine jewelry, offering rich color without being too large for everyday wear. They also strike a good balance between size and affordability.
Are all Green Tourmaline stones naturally colored?
Most green Tourmalines are untreated, but some may be heat-treated to enhance clarity or deepen the color. Treatment disclosure is important when purchasing.
What shades are available in 1-2 carat Green Tourmaline?
You can find a range from mint green to deep forest and chrome green. The most valuable are vivid, saturated greens with good clarity.
Which shapes are commonly available in this size range?
Oval, emerald cut, round, and pear shapes are the most common for 1-2 carat Green Tourmaline, often selected to best display the gem’s natural brilliance.
Is Green Tourmaline durable enough for daily wear?
Yes. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, Green Tourmaline is suitable for rings and other frequently worn pieces if properly set.
How much does a 1-2 carat Green Tourmaline typically cost?
Prices vary by clarity and hue but generally range from $40 to $200 per carat. Chrome Tourmaline tends to be at the higher end of this range.
Is certification available for these gemstones?
Yes. Reputable sellers like GemSelect provide natural, certified Green Tourmaline, and can offer gemstone reports upon request.
Can I find matching pairs of 1-2 carat Green Tourmalines?
Yes, but matching color and size can be challenging. They are available and often used for earrings or custom designs. Early purchase is advised due to limited availability.

Loved the price and the quality and the certification options which is the main reason why I buy. The guarantee is also a great reason to use gem select.

I was looking for a small gift for a friend- the process is the same as every other time and was very simple, and she even got her gift early! On the downside, there's no way to easily keep track of multiple Shipping Addresses, so if I want to send a gift to Friend A and to Friend B, I have to overwrite everything and it's a fair bit clunky in that regard.

I did not realize these stones were of jewelry quality. They are really beautiful, just not what I was expecting which was more of a natural stone.

I found what I was looking for...had to look up millimeters to inches. It would be nice to see something, like a quarter, in the pix to show relative size. I plan on buy loose gemstones for every month in the calendar

First time using this website. It was both exciting finding things in my price range and things Iam gonna save up for and use in other pieces. I love that the picture of the gem is the exact gem I'll be buying. I haven't tested the gems yes but they said they sold me 100% natural gems.

I searched for the size, dimensions and quality of the stones I was looking for and then compared and ordered.
