Hey Y'all! So I'm following up on my intro post with the tourmalines that i have. I'm just curious about any further info on these gems, some of them I'm pretty sure on the ID, some are varieties i dont recognize, and some I don't even know if they're tourmalines, and if not what stone they are. 1. Watermelon? not sure because the outer layer appears more blue but the other range almost into green 2. Pretty sure these are Watermelon, the outer layer is almost citrine colored 3. 4. Not sure this is a tourmaline 5. These appeared to be black until held under the light 5. These seem to be opaque and black 5. This appeared nearly black until held in the light 6. These are an opaque olive green with a Tan/Quartz colored center 7. 8. The blue in the middle doesn't come out until held in the light 9. Citrine? 10. Black Tourmaline? 11. Indicolite Tourmaline? 12. Have another photo of these against the light, some are a deeper green, and some are a lighter yellow-green, not even sure they're all the same, there was garnets and herkimers mixed in originally

A couple of the ones at 5 could be Epidote but seeing everything else is Tourmaline could be Schorl. (black Tourmaline) The Citriny one could also be Topaz, It's difficult to tell without getting a good look at the crystal structure but the cleavage cracks look more like Topaz than Quartz.
