Live session #27 Tourmaline

Recorded live session in which I discuss minerals from the Tourmaline group and show beautiful examples of them, hosted form the Kristalmuseum. Especially outstanding specimens from Brazil. In addition to large specimens of the well-known black tourmaline variety Schorl, the beautifully colored Elbaite varieties such as Rubellite, Indigolite, and Verdelite are also shown. In addition, Dravite and also the special watermelon tourmaline.

In an earlier live session on gemstones, tourmaline also came up briefly.

In this video, I show an example of a fake tourmaline.
