for unconditional love
Tourmaline
Tourmaline can range from inky dark tones to bright greens, pinks, and blues, often with lively color variation. That broad palette makes room for unexpected color in handmade jewelry from our Nashville studio.
- Color
- From deep forest green to pink, blue, or multicolored zones, often showing shifts of intensity when turned.
- Family
- A family of related minerals whose changing chemistry creates a wide range of colors, sometimes within one crystal.
- Wear
- 7–7.5 on the Mohs scale; good scratch resistance, but heat and sudden temperature shifts can cause fractures.
- A little history
- Dutch merchants adopted the Sinhalese word toramalli, meaning “mixed gems,” for multicolored pebbles they encountered in Ceylon.
