Stones & Special Materials
Exuding an alluring charm that has captivated hearts for centuries, tourmalines are a gemstone of unparalleled diversity and splendor. From the rich hues of pink and red, to the tranquil shades of green and blue, these stunning stones come in an array of colors that are sure to complement any style.
But tourmalines offer more than just a beautiful exterior. These gemstones possess a unique quality known as pleochroism, which allows them to change color when viewed from different angles or under different lighting conditions. This adds an element of intrigue and mystique to these already captivating stones.
In addition to their captivating color and alluring properties, tourmalines are also renowned for their durability. As a type of borosilicate mineral, they are resistant to scratches and chipping, making them a perfect choice for everyday wear.
When seeking to add a tourmaline to your jewelry collection, it is essential to consider the quality of the stone. Higher quality tourmalines are distinguished by their deep, rich color and clarity, and are therefore considered more valuable. Regardless of the specific variety you choose, a tourmaline is sure to be a stunning and timeless addition to your collection.
Difference to Sapphires
One of the main differences between sapphires and tourmalines is their color. Sapphires are known for their deep blue color, although they can also come in other colors such as pink, yellow, and even green. Tourmalines, on the other hand, come in a wide range of colors, including pink, red, green, blue, and even multicolored.
Another key difference between the two gemstones is their composition. Sapphires are a type of corundum, which is a hard and durable mineral. Tourmalines are a type of borosilicate mineral, which is also hard and durable.
Finally, sapphires and tourmalines can differ in value depending on their quality. Higher quality sapphires and tourmalines are known for their deep, rich color and clarity, and are therefore considered more valuable.
“Grace be the waterfall in the wild of my mind.”
In Hinduism, waterfalls are seen as natural offerings of water from Nature to the god Shiva, who is believed to reside in the rivers and streams of the earth. The sound of the falling water is said to be similar to the sound of breath in the body. Waterfalls are also considered to be places where gods and celestial beings come to bathe due to their beauty and grandeur. They represent the flow of life, energy, consciousness, and breath from one plane to another, or from one part of the body to another.
The sound of a waterfall is thought to symbolize the flow of life energy in the veins of the body, as well as positivity, youthfulness, happiness, and vitality. The flow of a river is often seen as a metaphor for the ups and downs of life.
