Tourmaline – The Stone of Reconciliation

Tourmaline is one of the most commonly found semi-precious stones in the world. Its wide distribution makes it extremely popular and used in the jewelry industry.

The largest deposits of tourmaline in the world are in Brazil. Mining of the mineral in the country dates back over 500 years. Initially, the crystal was mined in search of gold. People believed that tourmaline was emerald, and the discovered stones were sent to Portugal to be made into jewelry for royalty.

The first records of the discovery of the semi-precious stone date back to the early 16th century when Dutch traders near Italy found the crystal. Its name comes from the term "turmali,” which was used as a universal name for all colored stones. The reason for this lay in the traders’ inability to distinguish it from other crystals. It was often mistaken for rubies.

The exceptional durability of the stone is evidenced by artifacts found in China that remain intact to this day.

Different cultures brought different meanings to tourmaline over the centuries. Literary records from the 18th century indicate that the crystal was a suitable talisman for actors and creative people. In India, it inspired a sense of reality in people prone to excessive daydreaming.

In modern times, tourmaline continues to be used by many African tribes as a talisman that protects from trouble.
