Pink tourmaline is defined by its pink to reddish coloration, with tone ranging from soft pink to more saturated hues depending on composition. Crystal formations are typically elongated and may appear transparent to opaque.
A boron silicate mineral, pink tourmaline forms through hydrothermal processes in pegmatite and metamorphic environments. Its color is primarily influenced by the presence of manganese within its structure.
Tourmaline has been used in jewelry and ornamental objects, as well as in technical applications related to its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties.
Sourced from regions including Brazil, Mozambique, Afghanistan, and the United States, each specimen varies in tone, clarity, and crystal formation.
