Tourmaline is classified as a semi-precious stone and the gemstone can be found in a wide variety of colors. "Schorl" is the most common tourmaline and derives it's black color from sodium and iron content. High concentrations of iron also add magnetic susceptibility. Tourmaline is typically found in granite deposits and is mined mainly in Brazil and Africa. Many times, Schorl has quartz and/or calcite deposits or inclusions.
