Did you know? In the past, tourmaline was sometimes considered a "rubbish stone" by miners, due to its complex composition and the diversity of its colours, which made it difficult to identify. It was only with time and a better understanding of gems that it was recognised as one of the most precious and sought-after stones.

A little-known stone that has found its value

For a long time, tourmaline remained in the shadow of other gemstones, often confused with ruby or emerald because of its vibrant hues. Its mineralogical complexity and the variety of its compositions made it a difficult stone to classify. At one time, it was even considered "worthless" by some miners, who put it aside in favour of gems that were easier to identify. Today, it is considered one of the most sought-after stones on the market, particularly for its rare varieties, such as the electric-blue Paraïba tourmaline and the brilliant-red rubellite.
