Fast Facts
| Red to pink colors of tourmaline are often referred to as rubellite. |
| Perfect for everyday wear, tourmaline is fairly durable at 7.5 on the Mohs’ scale and has no cleavage (reducing breakage and chipping). |
| Sometimes referred to as the “electric stone,” tourmaline becomes statically charged when heated or rubbed, attracting dust, lint and small pieces of paper. |
| Tourmaline possesses one of the widest color ranges, reproducing every conceivable color in the universe. |
 Brazil stands as the most important supplier of tourmaline.
