Tourmaline is a valuable gemstone that comes in a variety of colors. It is relatively hard, but can be scratched with a steel knife. If the knife becomes dull or scratched, the tourmaline is likely real.
Tourmaline is also relatively lightweight for a gemstone. Another way to tell if tourmaline is real is to look at the stone under a microscope.
Tourmaline should be translucent and have a waxy luster. If the stone is opaque or has a glassy luster, it is likely not real tourmaline.
