Chrome Tourmaline is a special variety of Green Tourmaline that owes its vivid green hue to trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. These are the same elements that also impart to emerald and tsavorite garnet their distinctive pure green colors. It should not be surprising then that the finest chrome tourmalines tend to resemble the finer examples of emerald and tsavorite.

Chrome tourmaline is actually a distinct green tourmaline variety called chrome dravite, found in East Africa. Chrome tourmaline is often associated with tsavorite garnet inmining locations.

Tourmaline has become a favorite in jewelry because it is available in so many shades, literally almost any shade imaginable.  There are square, pear, trillion, cabochon, round, emerald cut, oval, cushion, and heart shaped cut tourmalines in all conceivable color nuances.  Tourmaline is one of the most popular and sought after gemstones in the world.
