Золоті сережки з індиголітами

Indigolite is a beautiful blue variety of the mineral tourmaline, a member of the large borosilicate group. It is known for its rich shades ranging from deep indigo blue to bright blue-green. Its deep color can sometimes resemble aquamarine or the famous Paraiba tourmaline, but indigolite has its own unique character and beauty.

The name "indigolite" comes from the color indigo, which accurately conveys the characteristic blue hue of this gemstone. Some specimens can display amazing variations, including areas of yellowish or pinkish hues or even white stripes, which adds to their individuality and collector's value. This relatively rare member of the tourmaline group is mined in a limited number of places around the world.

The most famous deposits are in Brazil, Nigeria, Mozambique, Afghanistan and the United States. Indigolite is usually formed in granite pegmatites, but it can also be found as rolled pebbles in alluvial deposits, where it is deposited by erosion.

Due to its attractive appearance, rarity and good hardness, indigolite is highly valued by both mineral collectors and jewelers. It lends itself well to cutting into various shapes without losing its luster and depth of color. Indigolite is used to make exquisite jewelry - rings, pendants, earrings and necklaces, which emphasize its natural elegance.
