Tourmaline is a fascinating and very rich stone: in fact, it's not just a stone, but a very diverse group of minerals, with a hardness ranging from 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale, and which can be any color. Tourmalines of different colors often have specific names on the market: verdelite for green, rubellite for red-pink, indigolite for blue or dravite for yellow tourmaline.
The most famous tourmaline is the blue to neon-green Paraiba tourmaline. Discovered in the 1980s in the Paraiba mine in Brazil, these tourmalines are now among the world's most prized stones. Birthstones for the month of October, some particular tourmalines are multicolored, with strong color zonation, making them very popular, especially with collectors. They are mined mainly in Brazil and Sri Lanka.
What's more, several stones originally thought to be rubies turned out to be tourmalines. This is the case, for example, of the rubellite tourmaline in the crown of St. Wenceslas, the jewel in the Bohemian crown.
