This is tourmaline

In ancient Greek mythology, tourmaline was regarded as the embodiment of the fire left by Prometheus to the world; In ancient Egyptian legends, tourmaline was compared to a rainbow leading to the sun along the center of the earth. In the west, tourmaline is called "the stone of power" and is often worn by dignitaries as a symbol of power; In China, tourmaline is loved by people because it is homophonic with "evil spirits".

According to legend, if you can find the foothold of the rainbow, you can find eternal happiness and wealth. Although there are many rainbows, you can't always find its starting point. Until 1500, a Portuguese expedition discovered a gem in Brazil, flashing colorful neon lights! Just like a rainbow shooting from the sky to the center of the earth, ordinary stones bathed in the rainbow got all kinds of colors contained in the world along the way and were washed crystal clear. Not all stones are so lucky. This kind of gem hidden in the resting place of the rainbow is called "tourmaline" by later generations, and is also called "rainbow falling into the world".

Tourmaline is widely distributed, not as "stingy" as the old pit jade in Myanmar. Tourmaline deposits are usually located in pegmatite and alluvial deposits, among which Sri Lanka and Madagascar have the highest output, followed by Brazil. Brazil is famous for producing red, green and blue tourmalines. Not long ago, people discovered a special color tourmaline called "Paraiba". Its color is different from other gems, with blue in green, like lake green. Because the output is scarce, it is very expensive. The United States, also located in the American plate, also produces more tourmaline. Among them, California tourmaline is the most famous, Maine has red, green and watermelon tourmalines, and other countries such as new york, Connecticut and Colorado also produce tourmalines. High quality red and bicolor tourmaline comes from Mozambique. Tourmaline is also produced in Angola, Australia, Myanmar, India, Rhodesia (New Guinea), Namibia, Tanzania, Thailand, Russia and other countries.
