Treasure Hunting For TourmalineBy:-David Cowley
According to Egyptian legend tourmaline gets it color when it passes over a rainbow on its journey up from the center of the earth and that is why it is often referred as the gemstone of the rainbow.

Geodes or Fluorescent Minerals, sometimes called Thunder Eggs are forms in volcanic rocks where water has worn away a pocket in the rocks leaving behind different minerals in the cavity such as iron, quarts and agate.
