The name “Tourmaline” comes from “toramalli” the Sinhalese (Sri Lankan) word meaning “mixed colored stones”. Ancient Egyptians believed their colors were derived from passing over a rainbow.
It was brought to Europe 400 years ago by traders from the Dutch East India Company. Some of these gemstones were thought to be rubies or emeralds, due to their strong resemblance. It wasn’t until the 1800’s that scientists realized it was a distinctly different mineral species!
We've outlined points to help you understand value and what to ask to make an informed decision on tourmaline jewelry you will LOVE!
