Tourmaline
Authentic natural minerals, thoughtfully sourced and individually photographed.
Tourmaline — The Rainbow Mineral
Tourmaline is a boron silicate mineral group that occurs in more colors than any other mineral species. Black tourmaline (schorl) is the most common variety, while pink, green, blue (indicolite), and watermelon tourmaline are prized by collectors. Major sources include Brazil, Afghanistan, Mozambique, Nigeria, and Maine (USA).
Why does tourmaline come in so many colors?
Tourmaline's color depends on its chemical composition. Iron produces black and brown, manganese creates pink and red, lithium yields green and blue, and chromium produces the rare chrome tourmaline. Some crystals show multiple colors in a single specimen — watermelon tourmaline has a pink center with a green rind.
What is black tourmaline used for?
Black tourmaline (schorl) is one of the most popular collecting minerals. Its piezoelectric properties — it generates an electrical charge under pressure — make it scientifically interesting. Collectors display it alongside obsidian and smoky quartz for dramatic dark mineral displays.
