The mineral hardness scale was established by the German mineralogist Friedrich Mohs in the early 1800’s. He based the scale on ten common minerals ranging from talc, the softest mineral on the scale, to diamond, the hardest. Each mineral on the scale will scratch the mineral below it and will be scratched by the mineral above it.
Fingernails have a hardness of about 2.5. Knife blades and glass show up on the scale at about 5.5. Metal files have a hardness of about 6.5. Quartz stands at 7 on the scale.
Tourmaline gems have a hardness of about 7 to 7.5, which makes them very suitable for use as gemstones in all types of gemstone jewelry.

Tourmaline Gemstone Bracelets are a wonderful addition to a long tradition of accessories from tourmaline. The Chinese have engraved and carved figures with tourmaline for many centuries. Ancient examples are still displayed in museums around the world, a testament to the durability of the stone. While the Chinese have used tourmaline extensively for snuff boxes and such, beautiful tourmaline gemstone bracelets will serve you much better at the next dressy casual dinner.

Tourmaline Gemstone Necklaces are widely available in a multitude of colors. They range in price from the very moderate to high end, depending on the setting. The gemstone occurs in many shades of pink, red, green, blue, yellow and brown. Because the crystal frequently changes color during its growth, one can often find bi-colored gemstones.
Tourmalines are said to enhance one’s understanding, increase self-confidence and amplify one’s psychic energies. They also are said to neutralize negative energies, dispell fear and grief, and to aid in concentration and communication.
Because it is found in so many colors, tourmaline is called the "Rainbow Gemstone." You may need several tourmaline gemstone necklaces to take advantage of all the colors!
