HISTORY
Tourmalines are found in every colour of the rainbow. They are cleansing crystals that protect and remove negativity, and attract positive thought and energy. Below are generic properties for all Tourmalines, see each individual collections for specific properties for each variation of Tourmaline.
An Egyptian legend believed that Tourmaline is found in many colours because it travelled along a rainbow and show in all the rainbow's colours.
Tourmaline is often mistaken for other crystals. Many stones in the Russian Crown Jewels from the 17th Century were once thought to be rubies but are actually Tourmalines.
Tourmaline was known for centuries by the name School, but the name Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese (Sri Lanka) words "Tura Mali" Maning "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 through the Victorian Age.
Magicians living in the Andes mountains used tourmaline to create magical staffs to access the world's ancient knowledge.
Ancient Indian ceremonies used Tourmaline for enlightenment and to help in seeking good. They also used it to bring insight as to what was causing trouble.
Tourmaline has been used in sonar apparatus and other devices that detect and measure pressure. Because of its electric charge capabilities, the demand for Tourmaline increased in WW11 for the production of pressure sensitive gauges for submarine sonar instruments and other war equipment.
Tourmalines of all colors can be electrically charged by rubbing your fingers on each end, resulting in the attraction of particles in the air.
Specimens with attractive colours and crystal forms can sell for thousands of dollars.
