The tourmaline bead was termed in 1703 by Dutch traders who gave the gemstone a Sinhalese name, `Turamali`, understood to be a bead with mixed colours. Tourmaline is a crystal silicate mineral compounded with elements such as aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, potassium which create a fine-looking and infinite colour palette.
