Did You Know?

The stone was first discovered by Dutch traders off the West Coast of Italy in the late 1600's or early 1700's. The name tourmaline comes from the Sinhalese term “turmali,” which was the name given to all colored crystals on the island of Sri Lanka at that time. This all inclusive name indicates the inability of ancient gem dealers to differentiate tourmaline from other stones. In fact, at one time in history, pink and red tourmaline were thought to be rubies. Pink tourmaline tends to be pinker in color than ruby. However, their similarities in appearance are so strong that the stones in the Russian crown jewels believed to be rubies for centuries, are now thought to be tourmalines.  Also, alongside opal, tourmaline is the alternate birthstone for October.


Our Photographs

Our photos are taken with a Canon 70D on a 50mm lens with manual settings for macro photography.  The items are lit in a bright white LED light-box designed for product photography.  Image manipulation is kept to a minimum, and only used conservatively to correct white balance to achieve the most accurate results.  We will never "photoshop out" any flaws, blemishes, imperfections, dents, dings, or any other damage from any item we photograph.
