It’s Magnetic!

Tourmaline actually means “stone with mixed colors” in Sinhalese, one of the language spoken in Sri Lanka, and comes in various natural colors, from lovely greens to rose, red, pink, and blue, orange and champagne, including boundless shades of pastels.

With one of the widest color ranges of any gem, it’s easy to get why tourmalines are said to have enchanting qualities.

Tourmaline has often been called “the electric stone” because of its pyroelectric and magnetic powers. Back in the day, it was highly valued by alchemists, who thought they could make gold with it!
