from the original Sinhalese. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe popularity of Tourmaline exploded in the 1800s, when famed mineralogist \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Kunz\u003c\/strong\u003e introduced it to jeweller Tiffany and Co, where it became a highly prized commodity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black variety of Tourrmaline also gained a new name,
