A player encountering a small deposit of Tourmaline.

Main article: Avalon/Gems

Tourmaline is a Pre-Hardmode Gem found within the Underground and Cavern layers of the world. They are obtained by breaking special blocks that have noticeable cyan gemstones embedded in them. They can also be extracted from Silt, Slush, Desert Fossil, Compressed Extractination Block, or Compressed Desert Fossil by putting them in an Extractinator. Rarely, Tourmaline can be found in its own Gemstone Cave mini biome, or in one that contains some or all of the other gems as well (besides Amber).

They can be crafted back into their Stone Block forms at a Heavy Work Bench in a Graveyard biome, and can be obtained by cutting down a Tourmaline Gem Tree. They also have a 20*2/10 (20%) chance to be dropped by Geodes.

Like all other gems, Tourmaline can be placed on blocks.
