Tourmaline is a mineral that occurs in a wide range of colors and is often used in jewelry and decorative objects. It is named after the Sri Lankan word "turamali," which means "stone of mixed colors."

It is also said to have metaphysical properties, including the ability to promote emotional balance and peace.
