What Is Tourmaline?<\/h2>\n

The tourmaline group refers to several related types of minerals and varieties. Tourmaline tends to crystallize in hard rocks like granite or quartz, making it difficult to mine without breakage. Colors are diverse, and a single crystal can contain multiple colors. Concentrations of iron, magnesium, nickel, calcium, chromium and cobalt create the rainbow of colors.<\/p>\n

Where Is Tourmaline Found?<\/h2>\n

It is mined in Brazil, Madagascar, Sri Lanka, Russia, Italy, Switzerland, Africa, and California and Maine in the US.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Tourmaline Color & Meaning<\/span><\/h2>\n

Tourmalines have one of the broadest color ranges of any gem and were often mistaken for other gemstones because of this. This wide variety of colors is caused by traces of iron, titanium and more. Iron-rich tourmalines are usually black to bluish-black to deep brown, while magnesium-rich varieties are brown to yellow. Lithium-rich tourmalines are almost any color, including blue, green, red, yellow, pink and more. Among the most popular colors are the pink and red rubellites, the emerald green \u201cchrome\u201d tourmalines, and the neon green and blue-to-violet \u201cpara\u00edba\u201d tourmalines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tourmaline is known as a \u201creceptive stone,\u201d which means it is soothing, calming, inward and magnetic, promoting meditation, spirituality, wisdom and mysticism. The many different colors of tourmaline are believed to have their own healing properties. Black tourmaline is thought to protect the wearer and give a sense of self-confidence. Pink tourmaline embodies love and is associated with compassion and gentleness, while green tourmaline promotes courage, strength and stamina.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.borsheims.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/tourmaline-earrings.jpg” alt=”tourmaline earrnigs” title_text=”tourmaline-earrings” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]

Tourmaline Care & Cleaning<\/span><\/h2>\n

The tourmaline gemstone is generally suitable for everyday wear. These colorful gems are usually stable enough to withstand light and most chemicals but can be damaged by heat. Tourmaline is best cleaned with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. The use of ultrasonic and steam cleaners is not recommended for cleaning tourmaline. When not being worn, tourmaline jewelry should be stored in a jewelry box lined with soft fabric.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]
