Well-being

Tourmaline is a borosilicate with a wide range of colors: black, green, blue, yellow, pink, and red. The name tourmaline is of Sinhalese origin (Sri Lanka) and means “Stone of a thousand colors.” Tourmaline arrived late to the European continent, only being listed by mineralogists in the 18th century.

It was imported from Ceylon to Holland to be cut starting in 1703. In China, Empress Tzu Hsi, who ruled from 1860 to 1908, exported pink tourmalines from Southern California. She particularly appreciated tourmalines and had numerous pieces of jewelry and decorative objects made from them.

Later, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, tourmalines of all colors were found. Paraiba tourmaline, with its extraordinary lagoon blue color, is one of the rarest and most sought-after tourmalines.
