Scientific Fun Fact:
Green Tourmaline is usually elbaite, a complex borosilicate that crystallises in the trigonal system. Its colour is typically due to iron; vivid chrome-green varieties get their hue from chromium or vanadium and are sold as chrome tourmaline. Tourmaline is famously piezoelectric and pyroelectric, which means it can hold an electrical charge under pressure or temperature changes.
