"Bixi" homophonic: "dispelling evil spirits" is also favored by many friends.

Today, the editor of China Jewelry Merchants Network unified the answer to friends.

Tourmaline can be divided into four types according to its color: blue tourmaline, red tourmaline, green tourmaline, multicolor tourmaline. If in these four colors, which color of tourmaline is the highest value, internationally, it is divided according to the depth of color concentration. The thicker it is, the more expensive it is.

Now let us judge the color of the tourmaline from the value of each color tourmaline.

The value of blue tourmaline

In recent years, at home and abroad auctions, there are fewer opportunities for the appearance of tourmaline collections, and the transaction rate of common varieties is not very high, but those with good texture and fine work are still the objects of choice for collectors and investors. .

At present, the price of gem-quality tourmaline in the international market is generally 20,000 US dollars a carat, the price of domestic general tourmaline is more than 200 yuan per gram, and the good quality is more than 2000 yuan per gram, far higher than gold. price.

The value of red tourmaline

The red tourmaline has a lower level of clarity in the tourmaline family, which is very similar to emerald. Pure red red tourmaline gemstones are always difficult to see, often with many cracks and inclusions. When these small flaws do not affect the color and light refraction of the gemstone, it is generally acceptable for its high price.

But if these connotations make the gem's clarity drop and the color dark, you have to reconsider the cost of the purchase. When the tourmaline is close to bright red, it will be very similar to the color of ruby. There is a very simple way to distinguish them: the fire reflected inside the ruby ​​is bright red, and the tourmaline is red with pink tones.

The value of green tourmaline

Some green tourmalines are distinguished by their bright colors and typical small size. They are produced by the province of Paraíba, Brazil. The bright blue-green color produced by the copper elements is called the neon green dragonfly. Compared with the tourmaline, its color is saturated and the color tone is lighter. More than one carat of green and blue-green Paraiba tourmaline is rare and is the most valuable green tourmaline on the market. A similar blue-green tourmaline that is colored by copper impurities is also produced in Nigeria.

The value of multicolor tourmaline

Multicolor tourmaline is also very special in colored gemstones, but its price difference is also very large, like other gemstones, the quality is dominant, and the quality factor is mainly color. Even for multi-color gemstones, most will have a primary color, which is the largest shade of the area. If the color of the color is pure, it will be very good, while pure blue and electro-optic blue are the most expensive.

From the above we can know that if the four colors of the tourmaline, the highest value of the collection is the blue tourmaline, because of its rarity; and in the market, the highest price is the number of red tourmaline; and for the green In terms of tourmaline, the market price of tourmaline above one carat is the highest, so the biggest space for appreciation is blue tourmaline, but if you want to catch up with the price of red tourmaline, it will take time to brew.
