Introduction
The chemical composition of pink tourmaline is a borosilicate mineral (Na(Li,Al)₃Al₆(BO₃)₃Si₆O₁₈(OH)₄), and it is a very popular type within the tourmaline family. The crystals are often columnar, with a vitreous luster and translucent texture. Its pink to rose hues are primarily due to the influence of manganese, and it is also known as "pink schorl."
Pink tourmaline has piezoelectric and thermoelectric properties, and has been considered to possess special energy since ancient times. In the 18th century, both the Chinese imperial family and European nobility were very fond of pink tourmaline. Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty even regarded it as one of her most precious gemstones, often using it for jewelry and carved collections. It also symbolizes love, gentleness, and the connection of human relationships and emotions.
