When Dutch traders returned with gems from Sri Lanka in the early 1700’s, they called any unfamiliar stones by the name “turamali” meaning “stones with mixed colors.” Thus, any stone not recognized as a ruby or sapphire simply became a “turmali.”

Since then, science has enabled us to distinguish and classify the gems of this expedition, which included zircons, fancy sapphires, beryls, chrysoberyls, feldspars and garnets, as well as gems belonging to a broad species now known as tourmaline.

Although green is the most common hue, tourmaline naturally occurs in virtually thousands of shades, tones and color combinations—more than any other gemstone.
