About Tourmaline
Tourmaline occurs in red, pink, yellow, green, blue, colourless and black, and many crystals show two or more colours. Its name comes from the Sinhalese 'toramalli', meaning stone with mixed colours.
- Birthstone
- October
- Hardness
- 7–7.5 (Mohs)
- Everyday wear
- Tourmaline resists everyday scratches but has only fair toughness, so avoid hard knocks.
- Care
- Clean with warm, soapy water; ultrasonic and steam cleaners are not recommended. Avoid heat and sudden temperature changes.
- Meaning and tradition
- Ancient mystics believed tourmaline could inspire artistic expression, and it is the gem for 8th wedding anniversaries. Traditionally, pink tourmaline is associated with love and compassion, green with courage and strength, and black tourmaline with protection and self-confidence.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
