What is tourmaline? 
The name “tourmaline” is used for several different but related minerals that come in rich and varied colors. Tourmaline are piezoelectric-when they are heated, they produce an electrical potential (different electrical charges at opposite ends). They also emit FIR (far infrared) radiation and negative ions, effects that increase when heat is applied.
