ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY
Verdelite is the green variety of Elbaite Tourmaline, a cyclosilicate of boron, aluminum, sodium, and lithium that crystallizes in the trigonal system. Its crystals typically exhibit an elongated prismatic habit, longitudinal striations, vitreous luster, and hues ranging from green to dark green.
This Grade A-B gem-quality specimen stands out for its dark green color, translucency, and the presence of 25% to 50% matrix. Its strong pleochroism allows for the perception of different tones depending on the viewing angle, ranging from deep green to lighter green. Sourced from the granitic pegmatites of the Eastern Pegmatite Province (Araçuaí region, Minas Gerais, Brazil), it reflects a geological history linked to the Brasiliano cycle, dating back approximately 600 to 480 million years.
