Product Description:

Chrome gems are colored by traces of chromium, giving them a beautiful green color. Chrome green gems can range from bright green to deep forest green. Chrome gem varieties include chrome diopside and chrome tourmaline, which are available in various sizes, shapes and cutting styles.

Chrome diopside is colored by chromium and displays a rich forest green that has similarities to tsavorite garnet and chrome tourmaline. While not seen in mainstream jewelry stores, diopside is becoming more and more popular with jewelry designers for its intense deep green color. It is not a particularly hard stone, however (Mohs rating of 5.5-6.5), so it is best used for earrings, pins and pendants.

Chrome tourmaline is a distinct variety of tourmaline called chrome dravite, found in East Africa. Chrome tourmaline owes its vivid green hue to trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. These are the same elements that give emerald and tsavorite garnet their distinctive pure green hues. Like emerald and tsavorite garnet, fine chrome tourmaline is a visually pure forest green with slightly yellowish to bluish secondary hues. The blue will normally show itself in incandescent light, the yellow will be more visible in daylight. A blue secondary hue is preferred to yellow. Chrome tourmaline is quite rare generally, and particularly rare in sizes over one carat. A stone of fine quality over one carat is very rare. Therefore, the collector should expect a large percentage increase in the price of stones in carat-plus sizes.

I really enjoy browsing through GemSelect. The selection is always marvelous and I love how detailed everything is described. The only thing I noticed is that when browsing through my phone, the videos of the gems do not load. If there were more videos of the gems, that would be amazing, though I understand that is a lot of work on GemSelect's part! Checking out is also very fast and easy, and I love that the return policy is very good, though I hope I don't have to use it anytime soon.

I am of the opinion that the company gem select cares about the product beautiful gems it sells and the cost of the gem I purchased was small i was treated as if it cost a lot of money and product was described in detail and i felt good about the little stones i had ordered.

was just windowshopping and spotted a couple "Very Uncommons", a tsavorite & a demantoid garnet that were both in a size I was looking for, & that I could very easily pay for -- so figured I would grab the tsavo ASAP and got the demantoid to accompany so they wouldn't be lonely.
