   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourmaline

   The pink color of tourmalines from many localities is the result of prolonged natural irradiation. During their growth, these tourmaline crystals incorporated Mn 2+ and were initially very pale. Due to natural gamma ray exposure from radioactive decay of 40 K in their granitic environment, gradual formation of Mn 3+ ions occurs, which is ...
