The History & Significance of the Pink Tourmaline Engagement Ring
Tourmaline is a category of silicate minerals, specifically cyclosilicates, with a diverse and highly variable composition. Tourmaline can be any colour, but it can also be several colours in one crystal. There are 13 variants in all, with pink tourmaline being one of them. Furthermore, tourmalines, according to ancient Egyptian mythology, are stones that emerged from the earth's core after a long journey that led them across a rainbow. This story helps to understand why the tourmaline family is so colourful and diverse. The word "tourmaline" is derived from the Sinhalese word "touramali," which means "mixed-colour stone." This name was originally given to a variety of coloured stones found in Sri Lankan mines. Pink tourmaline is also known as "rubellite," which comes from the Latin word "rubellus," which means "reddish." It's also a play on the word 'ruby,' which has very similar colours. Afghanistan, Brazil, Congo, Kenya, Madagascar, Nepal, Russia, Switzerland, and the United States are the major sources of this semi-precious stone. The most exquisite variations can be found in Mozambique's Shimoyo. Pink tourmaline was once thought to be a sign of immortality in ancient Greece. It is also known as the artist's stone because it encourages imagination. Pink tourmaline is often said to attract love and boost the wearer's femininity. As a result, it is THE ring for women par excellence, as well as THE diamond of love par excellence. On Valentine's Day, it is often offered as a token of true love, both romantic and fusional. Pink is actually a mixture of white (purity, innocence) and red (sensuality, desire in love), making it an ideal colour combination to propose to the lady you love! It is particularly appealing because it's a new, feminine hue.
