Tourmaline is a crystal made up of aluminum, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, or potassium when compounded with boron.
The Dutch East India Company brought these stones to Europe to satisfy a demand for curiosity for gems. There are many types of tourmaline, such as brown-black, dark yellow to brown-black, red/pink, blue and green, just green, and colorless. Tourmaline can have many colors.
Tourmaline symbolizes protection, healing, balance, and positive energy. Each color type of tourmaline symbolizes its own attribute, such as pink for love, courage for green, and wisdom for blue.
