What you see here is a necklace made using Tourmalin (green-brown) and Malachite. I've never wrote about Tourmalin till today so I wanted to correct this fact.

An Egyptian legend tells that tourmalin absorbed rainbow colors when flyed from Sun till Earth. That is why it is called "rainbow gemsone".
"Tura mali" means "a stone with mixed colors". Every stone is differentand can have different colors too. There are even stones that change colors in the day- and night-time. And there are those that have cat's eye effect.
This was maybe the reason that the persons thought, this stone has magic properties. They say, it makes love and friendship relations very strong.
The stone has high hardness, 7-7,5, so it does not need special treatments and precautions as not hard stones.
Interesting is that it's pyroelectric effect used Holland sailors to clean their pipes.
