HISTORY, FOLKLORE and OVERVIEW

It is believed that Tourmaline is found in so many colours because it travelled along a rainbow and shone in all the rainbow's colours.

Tourmaline is often mistaken for other crystals because of it's many colour variations, it comes in more colours than any other mineral group.  Many stones in the Russian Crown Jewels from the 17th century were thought to be rubies but are actually Tourmalines. Well formed tourmaline specimens with beautiful colours and crystal forms can sell for thousands of dollars, generally Blue Tourmaline is the most expensive of Touramlines.

In the early 18th century, Tourmaline would be grouped together in mail parcels in Sri Lanka and exported to Europe.  Tourmaline comes from the Sri Lankan words aura Mali, meaning "unknown gemstones of mixed colours".

Tourmaline was known as the gem of sensitive poets and creative artists.  Shakespeare even had a collection of Tourmaline jewellery to help him overcome writer's block.  Tourmaline was believed to inspire creativity and was used as a talisman by artists and writers from the Renaissance and through the Victorian Age.

Tourmaline has been used in sonar apparatus and other devices to detect and measure pressure.  Because of it's elective capabilities, the demand of Tourmaline increased in WW!! for the production of pressure sensitive gauges for submarine sonar instruments and other war equipment.

CLEANSING:  Our favourite way to cleanse Blue Tourmaline is in a rainbow.  We sit ours on rainbows made from crystals hanging in our window!  Water is the next best option, Tourmaline cleanses quickly so it would be very happy to be rinsed in some calming moon water.

CARE:  Protect from harder crystals or anything that might rub against to it as it's easily scratched and, or shattered.  Avoid temperature changes that can cause Tourmaline to fracture (don't leave it in a hot car or near a heater).  Tourmaline is brittle so never put in an ultrasonic cleaner.
