Story of Indicolites

Rare and profoundly elegant, indicolite — the name given to blue and blue-green varieties of tourmaline — is one of the most coveted and sophisticated expressions of the mineral. Its hues range from deep lagoon to midnight teal, revealing layered tones that shift gently between light and shadow.

Unlike most vibrant gemstones, indicolite doesn’t shout - it invites. It is contemplative, magnetic, and effortlessly refined. A gem for those who radiate quiet strength, who wear color like emotion, and beauty like truth.

Indicolite is exceptionally rare, with the finest specimens mined in limited quantities from Brazil, Mozambique, and occasionally Afghanistan and Nigeria. Brazilian stones, in particular, are celebrated for their vivid saturation, clean structure, and nuanced undertones.

A naturally pleochroic gem, indicolite reveals multiple shades depending on the angle — from deep ocean blue to seafoam green, with soft flashes of violet. Its optical magic gives it a living, breathing quality, as though it carries light within.

Its brilliance, durability, and emotional depth make it a favorite among collectors and designers seeking something outside the ordinary — something soulful.

At Raphaëlle Coqblin Jewelry, we choose indicolite for its resonance. A gem for the intuitive and tender-hearted — for those who feel deeply, speak softly, and carry the ocean in their heart.
