Tourmaline is found practically all over the world and comes in a variety of forms and colors. Although plentiful, fine Tourmaline gems are rare and fairly expensive. The tourmaline made it's way into the jewelry industry in 1876 when a rare green Tourmaline was sold to the famous Tiffany and Co.
Tourmaline is the official birthstone for the month of October and the designated gift for 8th. wedding anniversaries. The tourmaline comes in a wide variety of colors and for this reason it was believed in ancient cultures to have arrived on earth by traveling down along a rainbow!
Red Tourmaline, although normally pinker in color than rubies, was often mistaken for the ruby and it is now believed that the "rubies" in the Russian crown jewels are actually Tourmaline!
This unique stone is thought to possess more metaphysical properties than just about any other stone and it was thought to strengthen the body and spirit, offer relief from stress, promote harmony and kindness, and even relieve headaches!
Whether any of these metaphysical properties are actually true or not is left to the believers, but undoubtedly, Tourmaline is a wonderful stone when incorporated into jewelry designs and Salerno's Jewelry Store has several jewelry pieces incorporating the Tourmaline stone! Most notably is our October birthstone charm! This wonderful little charm can be placed on a light chain necklace and it's very inexpensive, so stop by and check it out today!
