It forms in hexagonal crystal systems and often exhibits pleochroism, where its color varies depending on the viewing angle. Tourmaline can be found in igneous and metamorphic rocks, and its different colors — such as pink, green, blue, and black — depend on its unique chemical composition and the presence of certain impurities.
