What Green Tourmaline Is
Green Tourmaline (verdelite) is the green variety of tourmaline, ranging from soft mint to deep forest green. Tourmaline is prized for its clarity and brilliance, and green is one of its most popular colors, found in Brazil, Madagascar, and the United States among other places.
Meaning & Lore
Often called a stone of the heart, Green Tourmaline is associated in crystal tradition with growth, abundance, and emotional balance, and is commonly linked to the Heart Chakra. Many people are drawn to it for the same reasons they reach for other green and heart stones — a sense of renewal and connection to nature. If that is the energy you are after, you might also like our guide to crystals for love & relationships. This is shared as tradition, not as medical fact.
