Tourmaline Jewellery: Your own Rainbow
Once upon a time there was a gemstone that travelled along a rainbow and gathered all the colours onto it. Legend tells us that this is why tourmaline is found in a variety of colours. Classified as a semi-precious stone, tourmaline comes in pretty pink to midnight black; in between there are the browns and greens, and blues too. Certain tourmaline crystals also occur in bi-colours, which are the most sought-after kind.
Different Kinds of Tourmaline
The term tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese and Tamil words, "Turmali" and "Thoramalli” since it was found in large quantities in Sri Lanka and brought to Europe from the island. Currently there are about 33 kinds of tourmaline though not all of them are of commercial gemstone quality. There is the black tourmaline, often known as schorl; blue tourmaline called indicolite; red tourmaline called rubellite; brown tourmaline called dravite; green tourmaline, pink tourmaline and more.
Until the advent of modern gemstone testing and identification technology many red tourmaline pieces were thought to be rubies. The Russian crown jewel, for instance, which was long thought to be set with ruby, was recently discovered to be a variety of tourmaline. Similarly the Timur Ruby, part of the British Crown jewels, was thought to be ruby and later it was discovered that it was actually a red spinel.
Like other precious stones, tourmaline is also supposed to have metaphysical properties, depending upon the colour and mineral composition of the individual tourmaline. Are you under a lot of stress? Then wear a blue tourmaline for relief from stress and its calming effect. However, is it negative thoughts that are making you uneasy? Then the black tourmaline is the recommended gemstone to protect you against destructive energy. Hmm, is it love and happiness that is missing from your life? You can buy tourmaline jewellery designs in pink to bring back love and joy in your daily life.
