About Tourmaline –

Tourmaline is a family of borosilicate minerals that comes in more colours than almost any other gem, from jet-black schorl to pink rubellite and electric blue. Its long, striated prism crystals often have a rounded triangular cross-section. Many crystals change colour along their length.

It crystallises mainly in granite pegmatites from boron-rich fluids, and also in metamorphic rocks such as schists.

Cool Facts –

Black tourmaline (schorl) is pyroelectric: heat it and it develops an electric charge at each end, which is how it got the name "ash-puller" from Dutch traders.

Tourmaline's name comes from the Sinhalese turmali, "mixed-coloured stones".

It grows as long striated prisms, and the striations run the length of the crystal.

Tourmaline becomes electrically charged when warmed, and Dutch traders reportedly used it to pull ash out of their pipes, calling it 'aschentrekker'.
