The tourmaline is a unique miracle of colour. The gemstone comes in green, red, blue, yellow, but there are also colorless specimens and black ones.
Often two or more colors are found in a single tourmaline crystal. Also rare and very highly esteemed are tourmalines which appear to change their color and cat's eye tourmalines. Having said all that, green is regarded as the classical tourmaline color. If you ask a gemstone merchant about a tourmaline, green, in most cases, is the first color he will think of.
However, even among the green tourmalines there is a broad spectrum. Some of them are very light, others so dark that the green colour can only be recognised when the stone is held against the light. There are green tourmalines in fine leek hues, but also in intense yellowish-green, olive green and brownish-green nuances. And there are especially wonderful tourmalines in the range from blue-green to dark bottle-green.
These, indeed, are its best colours. They are rare and much sought-after. Green tourmalines are very popular as precious stones among women, but many men like wearing them too.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
