Elbaite is the most well-known and valuable form of Tourmaline. Most of the multi-coloured Tourmalines and almost all of the Tourmaline gemstones are of the Elbaite variety. Elbaite is perhaps the most multi-coloured mineral, coming in virtually every colour of the spectrum. Multi-coloured crystals of Elbaite are well known and unsurpassed in beauty.

Elbaite has many interesting optical properties. Many green and blue specimens are strongly pleochroic. When viewed through their vertical axis, such specimens appear darker in colour than when seen through their horizontal axis. Certain Elbaites exhibit a cat's eye effect when polished into cabochons.

Elbaite has meaning and properties to lighten the heart. It is a gemstone to prevent feelings from being depressed. It is used for the purpose of smoothing human relationships.
