All,
I have read a gazillion PS posts on stones, durability, etc. But tourmaline seems to be my stone. I would set it in a ring.
I would wear this ring (as I wear all my better rings) to work several days a week or out for social activities like a meal, movie or party. The ring would go on when I leave the house, maybe run a few errands or go grocery shopping and then come off when I enter the house. I fly a desk at work, and remove my rings if I have microwave/eating area cleaning duty or volunteer help for moving boxes or other items.
I have read and heard conflicting opinions on the level of tourmaline durability -- from "ye gads NOT in ring" to "are you kidding, as long you don't plan to play football or chop wood while wearing it, it should be fine".
If you wear a tourmaline ring on a fairly regular basis, I would appreciate hearing your experience with wear and tear on the stone: type of wear and tear and the period of time in which it appeared. Any other information regarding wear and tear also appreciated.
Thank you.
PS: the stone WILL be set in a protective setting
