Tourmaline
The tourmaline group refers to a number of related species and varieties of minerals. Tourmaline is a complex crystalline silicate containing aluminum, boron, and other elements, and is used in electronic instrumentation and, especially as a gemstone in its green, clear, and blue varieties.
