Tourmaline inventory software for dealers
Tourmalines are tourmaline stones sourced mainly from Brazil, Nigeria, Mozambique, Afghanistan and Madagascar. Tourmaline comes in many colours and names, such as paraiba, rubellite and indicolite, and the names affect price. Consistent variety names across your stock make search and reporting reliable.
What to record for each tourmaline
Typical fields: variety and colour, heat treatment, origin, weight and clarity. GemColony keeps these on the stone record with photos and a barcode or QR label.
Parcels, lots and memos
Buy tourmalines as a lot, split it into parcels and single stones, and send stones out on memo while seeing who holds them and for how long.
