Multi Tourmaline - Know my Story!

Multi Tourmaline -  Long back in 1700s, there were hardly 3to5 types of stones commonly who had a name, those who were not Ruby or Sapphire were known as “turamali” Sinhalese name for those stones who had mixed colors. It was originally found in Sri Lanka by Dutch people and then science grew and stones were given names as a variety of Gems were then begun to arise, therefore “turamali” became “TOURMALINE”.

Tourmaline is found throughout the world such as in US, Brazil, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Russia, Burma, and Mozambique.

Talking about its constituents, it is a boron silicate crystal mineral compound. It is rich in many other minerals such as aluminium and potassium.

How different Tourmaline is from others is this one fact that Tourmaline is distinguished by its three-sided prisms; no other common mineral has three sides.
