Why tourmaline for the eighth anniversary
Bronze is the traditional eighth gift, an alloy that grows stronger by joining two metals. The gemstone list gives tourmaline, a stone that comes in more colors than almost any other, and pink is the most loved.
Tourmaline is 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. It is disclosed as heated or irradiated where that applies, and called unheated only when a certificate says so.

On the Mohs scale at the top of its range: wearable every day.
