Chrome Tourmaline is a rare, gemstone quality variety of chromium-bearing green dravite. Dravite is one of several specific varieties of the tourmaline group. Although dravite tourmaline is quite common in occurrence, most deposits are too opaque or too heavily included to be of any gemstone value. Chrome tourmaline, or chrome dravite, owes its colour to traces of chromium, the same element responsible for red ruby and green emerald. It may also contain vanadium, another colouring agent commonly found in both emerald and tsavorite garnet. Chrome tourmaline is highly-prized for its distinct, rich forest-green colour and is considered a collector's gem, but not because it lacks the hardness and durability for jewellery, but because of its extreme rarity in occurrence.
The green varieties of chrome tourmaline can stimulate proper cellular regeneration and function and is great to assist in ethically treating cancers as well as other cell-growth imbalances. It is highly beneficial to the thymus, eyes, immune system ad ductless glands.
