Ancient Magi are said to have used this stone to cast spells and protect them from evil. In the 1700 hundreds Dutch Traders made use of Tourmalines ability to attract and repel dust and tiny particles, by using it to pull ash from their pipes. When Tourmaline is heated it can attract dust particles and ash.
