Indicolite Tourmaline is the blue to blue-green variety of tourmaline, prized for its striking color and clarity. Here’s a detailed description:
Color
Ranges from light sky blue to deep sapphire-like blue.
Often has a teal or greenish undertone due to trace amounts of iron.
The purest blues are rare and highly valued.
Chemical Composition
Belongs to the tourmaline group, a complex borosilicate mineral.
The blue color is typically caused by iron (Fe2+) in its crystal structure.
Crystal System
Hexagonal (trigonal) crystal structure.
Commonly found as elongated, striated prismatic crystals.
Clarity & Luster
Transparent to translucent.
Exhibits vitreous (glassy) luster when polished.
Optical Properties
Strong pleochroism: may show different colors (blue, green, gray) when viewed from different angles.
Refractive index typically between 1.61 and 1.66.
Hardness
Mohs hardness: 7–7.5, making it durable for jewelry.
Sources
Found in Brazil, Afghanistan, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, and Madagascar.
Metaphysical & Collectors’ Appeal (non-scientific)
Associated with calmness, communication, and emotional clarity.
Popular with gem collectors due to its rarity and vibrant hue.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
