💗：WHY IT'S AWESOME? Legend has it that tourmaline passed through the rainbow on its way to earth, and that’s what gives it all its colors.  Although often thought of as black, tourmaline is the most colorful mineral known, naturally occuring in almost every color of the rainbow!!  Tourmaline possesses a unique crystal structure, which means its atoms are arranged in a specific repeating pattern. This structure allows tourmaline to exhibit piezoelectric properties, generating an electrical charge when pressure or temperature changes occur. Additionally, tourmaline displays pleochroism, meaning it can show different colors when viewed from different angles, adding to its visual appeal.
