Pink tourmaline can be found all over the world. Vast amounts have been mined in the United States, Nigeria, Mozambique, Madagascar,

Afghanistan, and the finest quality are said to be from Brazil, and Namibia. 

  • The gem is desired worldwide for its pleochroism (look it up!)
  • Pink tourmalines have a unique pyroelectric property.
  • "Dutch traders discovered that the heated gemstone could attract dust, they started using it to draw out the ash left in their smoking pipes. They eventually started calling it ‘Aschentrekker’ meaning ‘ash puller.’"*
