Tourmalines Gemstones

Tourmalines are found in many places in the world, such; Brazil, Sri Lanka and of course, Africa. Although there are plenty of gemstone deposits which contain Tourmalines, good qualities and fine colours are not often discovered among them. For this reason, the price spectrum of the Tourmaline is almost as broad as that of its colour. Tourmalines are gems with an incomparable variety of colours. The reason, according to an old Egyptian legend, is that the Tourmaline, on its long journey up from the centre of the Earth, passed over a rainbow. In doing so, it assumed all the colours of the rainbow. And that is why it is still referred to as the 'gemstone of the rainbow' today. The name Tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese words 'tura mali'. In translation, this means something like 'stone with mixed colours', referring to the colour spectrum of this gemstone, which outdoes that of all other precious stones.
