With an incomparable spectrum of colors, tourmaline has been called ‘the gemstone of the rainbow’ since ancient times. Deriving its name from the Singhalese words ‘tura mali’ meaning ‘stone with mixed colors’, tourmaline’s array of colors includes from red to blue and from blue to yellow, each possessing several shades and some changing under different lights or showing a cat’s eye effect. Tourmalines are mixed crystals of aluminum boron silicate with a complex and changing composition and crystals of a single color are fairly rare. The more widely known varieties within the color spectrum of this gemstone are ‘rubellite’ tourmaline with an intense red color, the pink tourmaline, the 'indigolite’ or the blue tourmaline, and the ‘verdelite’ with its emerald- green color. The highlight amidst all tourmaline varieties is the ‘Paraiba’ tourmaline, a gemstone of intense blue to blue-green, discovered in 1987 in a mine in the Brazilian state of Paraiba . Tourmaline deposits are found in Brazil, Sri-Lanka., South and South West Africa, Tanzania, Pakistan and Afghanistan. In spite of abundant sources, fine quality tourmalines are not found in all deposits and hence the price spectrum of this gemstone is almost as broad as that of its color. The color spectrum, its availability and the fact that every variety of tourmaline is unique, have made it a popular gemstone to which magical powers have been attributed since ancient times. In particular, it is considered as the gemstone of love and friendship and is believed to render them firm and enduring!
