The October Birthstone Tourmaline comes in many colours. It is ideally suited to almost anyone’s taste. If your birthday is in October you are lucky to have a wide range of beautiful coloured gemstones to choose from. Because of this unusual colour range it is our favorite gemstone as with many jewellery designers and gem collectors the world over. Light and dark shades of blue, green, red, pink, yellow, white and orange. The colours come in shades that match each other perfectly so multi coloured stone jewellery looks beautiful. Several colors are sometimes displayed in the same gemstone. These bi-color or tri-color gems are formed in many combinations. One multi-color variety is known as watermelon tourmaline, and features green, pink, and white color bands; to resemble its namesake, the gemstone is cut into thin slices having a pink center, white ring, and green edge. Tourmaline is found in many locations including Brazil, Afghanistan, East Africa, and the USA.

We always keep a selection of tourmaline cabochons like these pictured ready to make up into the unusual contemporary jewellery to commission. Tourmaline is also available as a faceted gemstone. Browse our tourmaline jewellery section by clicking this link.
