The tourmaline button beads on this strand feature the colorful pink and green tones typical of tourmaline—each bead is faceted, giving them a reflective look that stands out in any strung design. String the beads on their own to create a color-blocked pink and green necklace or use the beads individually, combining them with metal or gemstone beads in more complex pendant, earring and bracelet designs.
Gems known as tourmaline generally come from elbaite, one member of the larger tourmaline family of minerals. Tourmaline is hard and usually transparent, with a range of colors coming from trace minerals specific to the source location of each particular gemstone.
