This plant species is native to tropical and subtropical areas of the Old World, but can also be found in other parts of the world, including central Europe, where it grows in drier places such as sandy and gravelly soils or along roadways. Tourmaline has strikingly peculiar flowers that stand out with their five white or pink petals and green flower stalks.

Mollugo cerviana is used in many industries. Its leaves are eaten and in some cultures are cooked as a side dish or eaten raw in salads. Tourmaline is also popular in traditional medicine, where it is used as a treatment for digestive problems and skin problems. In the cosmetic industry, the plant's extract is then used to make various creams and lotions, as it has the skills to moisturize and soften the skin. Due to its attractive appearance, Mollugo cerviana is often planted as an ornamental plant in gardens and balconies.
