HUNTERS GREEN TOURMALINETM
Tourmaline as a gem has been around for centuries but until modern mineralogy, the dazzling colors of tourmaline which range from red to pink to yellow, blue and green were identified as another gem based on its coloring. This is especially true of green tourmaline, which resembles the emerald, so much so that when Francisco Spinoza first discovered the gem in 1553, the name given was "Brazilian emerald". Even the name given this gem, tourmaline, which comes from the Sri Lanka Sinhalese word "tura malli" meaning "mixed gems" identifies the confusion that surrounded the early days of this gem.
An interesting quality of the tourmaline is its ability to become electrically charged simply by heating or rubbing the stone. Symbolically, green tourmaline is thought to attract luck, success, abundance and prosperity.
