The price of tourmaline has risen very much in recent years. Is there any room for appreciation?
Hu Xuenian: The price of tourmaline has risen sharply in recent years. I remember that when seven or eight years ago, the average price of a carat was about two or three hundred yuan, and now it is at least a thousand dollars. If this price rises again, it will catch up with the red sapphire. Some merchants are trying to exaggerate the future appreciation of the tourmaline for profit, but I think the price is already high now, and it is hard to say how much potential there is in the future.
But there is a kind of tourmalines that deserve our attention - the tourmaline cat's eye, which has less production of tourmalines and higher collection value. Cat eyes are generally found in red tourmaline and green tourmaline. "Cat's eye" refers to an optical phenomenon exhibited on certain gemstones, that is, when a gemstone that is ground into a hemisphere is illuminated with strong light, a thin and bright reflection will appear on the surface. It is worth noting that the term "cat's eye" refers exclusively to the gold emerald cat's eye. If other gemstones have cat's eye effect, the name of the gem must be added before the word "cat's eye", such as the cat's eye effect. It is called "Bixi Cat Eye".
What kind of tourmaline has a collection value?
Hu Xuenian: Any jewel and jade are the same, only high-end things have a collection value. Specific to the tourmaline, the best quality is the high-end ring face. Because most natural tourmalines have different degrees of cracks, cracks are often used to make facets.
Tourmaline is easy to crack and break during processing. Therefore, the cracks in the tourmaline raw material are generally filled and consolidated before processing to avoid cracking of raw materials and increase the yield. Most of the tourmalines are filled with more or less, especially the tourmaline bracelet and bead chain, which is gradually accepted by consumers. Therefore, at the time of pricing, the tourmaline ring is based on carats, and there are often high prices of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The tourmaline flower pieces, bracelets and necklaces are priced in grams, and the lowest price is more than one hundred dollars.
