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 many colors.” Tourmaline arrived late to the European continent. It was only listed by mineralogists in the 18th century.

It has been imported from Ceylon to Holland for cutting since 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.

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.

In lithotherapy, black tourmaline is considered one of the most powerful protection stones. It is said to protect against negative people and influences and is also used to protect living spaces.

Cleansing and recharging

Cleansing:

Tourmaline can be purified by placing it under water for a few minutes. To preserve the jewelry setting, we recommend fumigation with a palo santo stick or white sage. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry over the smoke. Don’t forget to ventilate the room well after fumigating.

Recharging:

Tourmaline can be recharged in the sun or by placing it in a quartz geode, on a quartz cluster, or an amethyst druse. You can also use a flower of life tray.
