Supply Chain for Green Tourmaline

When we know better, we do better. Ethical sourcing is a constantly evolving process. If the original sourcing for the stone still passes Moonrise Crystals’ current standards, it will be restocked as soon as possible. If the original sourcing is no longer acceptable, it will be restocked when/if a better supplier can be found.

This Green Tourmaline comes a small-scale Tourmaline mine in Karibib, Namibia. In this area, Tourmaline mines are surface pits, using hand tools and some light machinery. It has a low environmental impact and is relatively low risk for miners.

This lapidary drum tumbles stones in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a family business, founded by a father and passed on to his sons. Factory workers have safe conditions and are paid fairly. The lapidary sells primarily at two gemshows, one in the United States and the other in France.

I have been doing business with this source since 2014. They are the oldest tumbling company in the world and have more varieties, in more sizes, than any other known source. The company started in California in the 1950s and was eventually bought by a British immigrant who had young sons. Eventually the company moved to South Africa in order to be closer to the source of their best-selling stone and to have the legal rights to export it. The company is now run by the sons and their childhood best friend.

The current owners personally visit many small and large mines. To connect with artisanal miners in sub-Sahara Africa, they work with local Gem Dealers who travel far into the bush to buy from part-time miners. The majority of these Gem Dealers are women. Some, but not all, of their stones are labeled with country-of-origin. For those that aren’t, I ask the owners directly. As I’ve learned more about mining practices in individual countries, I have become increasingly selective about what I will purchase from them. However, they remain my preferred source for most of the stones I sell from sub-Sahara Africa.

Green Tourmaline Healing, Mineralogy, and History

Published September 2014  •  Updated August 2024  •  Read Time: 6 minutes
Green Tourmaline can be a Dravite or Elbaite Tourmaline.  If the green is mixed with red or blue, it’s always Elbaite, but if the green mixed with yellow-brown than its most likely Dravite.  The shade of green can range from deep emerald to a lovely blue-green.  Sometimes the shade indicates the source, but not always!  Green Tourmaline is sometimes marketed as Verdelite, this is an old term that is still used in the fine jewelry industry.  Among healing crystals, it is considered one of the best for taking care of the physical body with practical wisdom.  It encourages “active compassion” and taking charge of our life to make it better.
