Tourmaline: A comprehensive analysis of the characteristics and effects of the King of Crystals

Tourmaline, this gem known as the "King of Crystals", has always been loved and sought after by the public. From the tourmaline craze decades ago to the current candy tourmaline trend, it can be seen that its charm has not diminished. Why is colored tourmaline so popular among people? Let’s take a closer look.

The history and legend of tourmaline

The history of tourmaline can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian period thousands of years ago, when people began to use tourmaline to treat various diseases, including neuralgia, vascular diseases, lymphatic diseases, and mood disorders. The ancient Egyptians believed that the fascinating color of colored tourmalines came from the rainbow.
In China, tourmaline is the favorite of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and her fascination with tourmaline has reached the point of obsession. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi consumed several tons of rough tourmaline in a year to make various kinds of jewelry.

The composition and structure of tourmaline

Tourmaline is a cyclic borosilicate mineral containing boron and contains elements such as aluminum, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium or potassium.
Electrical Properties of Tourmaline
Tourmaline, also known as tourmaline, is the only mineral that can be permanently charged. It has been used as a laboratory material since the 19th century.
In addition, tourmaline can also release negative ions to balance the pH of the blood in the body. The far-infrared rays it produces can promote metabolism, blood circulation, cell regeneration, and enhance one's own immunity, taking the wearer's health to a higher level.

Tourmaline Authenticity Identification

Due to the high value of tourmaline, a large number of counterfeit colored tourmalines have long existed on the market. Methods of counterfeiting tourmaline generally include color injection, or using spar with a similar color as a substitute. However, the cost of verification at a laboratory is relatively high, so consumers are advised to purchase from reputable stores for greater protection.

Types of Tourmaline

Tourmaline comes in many different varieties, including classic tourmaline and the more recent candy tourmaline. Candy Tourmaline is also called Afghan Tourmaline. Its color is not as deep as traditional tourmaline. On the contrary, the color is more vivid and lighter, just like candy, hence the name Candy Tourmaline. The color of candy tourmaline is similar to the pastel color that has been popular in recent years, so it has once again sparked a tourmaline craze.
