Buy Chrome Gemstones, Chrome Green Tourmaline and Chrome Diopside

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 had a great time searching all the lovely stones. This is my first precious loose stone purchase for my own work. I chose sapphire, and found some lovely briolettes. I wanted 3, but this set of 4 was perfect. Everything was quick and easy, and I'm excited.

I was looking for ammolite for my husband. Other websites are not always clear about whether they have genuine ammolite or simulated ammolite. I have purchased from GemSelect before and trust that the stones are genuine. Finding the stones I want is easy, and I love all of the search filter options!

I love the clear description of the certification options. It's very rare to see a gem site that offers a deep explanation of each institution that would certify the stone(s).

The website is user friendly, has excellent selection. I've always found what I was looking for with Gem Select. When others don't have it they do. And most important, they have a way for you to pay without using PayPal. I cannot use PayPal they closed my account because of no cell phone.

Everthing about researching and ordering from Gemselect was easy and uncomplicated. In the past I had payment problems, but your customer rep, Thomas, helped me get everything right. I will continue using Gemselet in the future for these reasons.
