Tourmaline
Tourmaline is a dichroic gemstone that comes in many, many
different colors; it also appears to have different colors
depending on the angle at which it is seen. Tourmaline's
name comes from the Sinhalese word "turmali,"
which means "mixed." Tourmaline has the greatest
color range of any gemstone - the lighter colors are more
valuable than the darker colors. Legend says tourmaline
inspires artistic expression and enhances your intuition.
Certainly this gem's varied palette inspires designers to
create jewelry to suit every mood.
Tourmaline is the birthstone for October.
