Tourmaline was called the Ceylonese Magnet because it has pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties. It is electrically charged, and becomes magnetic when rubbed or heated. The Dutch name Aschentrekker “ash mover” referred to the fact that, if you left it near the fire for a bit, its pyromagnetism would begin to act on the ashes, either repelling or attracting them. In the 19th century, chemists used tourmaline to polarize light by shining rays of light onto its polished surface.
