Ultra Rare Purple Tourmaline from Mines Gerais, Brazil.
Purple Tourmaline is a rare and highly sought-after variety due to its unusual color chemistry. Unlike more common pink, green, and blue Tourmalines, the presence of manganese, iron, or a combination of trace elements influences the development of purple hues. However, pure purple Tourmaline is exceptionally scarce because the conditions required to produce this color are less frequent in natural crystal growth. Some purple Tourmalines may exhibit secondary tones of pink or brown, and certain specimens can shift hues under different lighting.
