Orange gem

The orange gem, as known as Tourmaline, is one of the six colored gems in Crash Bandicoot. Along with the other colored gems, this gem is very powerful and opens up secret areas.

The gem can be obtained by breaking all the boxes and not losing a life in Generator Room. It opens up two orange gem paths in Upstream.

Trivia

 * It was likely removed from future installments due to the level layouts, since each game consists of five warp-rooms and a secret 6th one. It's arguable that it could belong to the 6th Warp Room. It was also one of two gems in Crash 1, that only worked in one level, with the purple gem being the other. This one was potentially removed since purple would expand the spectrum.
