    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 ...

    Neodymium may be used to color glass in shades ranging from pure violet through wine-red and warm gray. [56] The first commercial use of purified neodymium was in glass coloration, starting with experiments by Leo Moser in November 1927. The resulting "Alexandrite" glass remains a signature color of the Moser glassworks to this day.
