Tourmaline

Perhaps the most colourful of gemstones, tourmalines were brought from the 18^th century onwards by the Dutch East India Company from Sri Lanka to Europe, where previously only the black variety, known as schorl, had been known. The glassy lustrous stones of pink, red, blue, green, yellow or brown can display dichroic properties, meaning that their colour will change when viewed from different angles. Some crystals even show two distinct colours at their different ends, and the watermelon tourmaline, its green edge outlining a pink centre, is highly prized.
