Tourmaline

Tourmaline is classified as a semi-precious stone and the gemstone comes in a wide variety of colors. The most common tourmaline is Schorl (black), and accounts for 95% of all tourmaline in nature. Dravite, (brown) tourmaline, is a variation of Schorl, while Elbaite, which is also a member of the tourmaline family, includes Indicolite (blue to blue/green), Verdelite (green), Rubellite (pink) and Watermelon (pink with green rind).

The keyword for this crystal is Alignment. Tourmaline does not absorb negative energy. It repels it. It is the best crystal to use against the ill effects of low frequency and high frequency electromagnetic waves (EMF) and protects against smog, radiation, psychic attacks and repels all kinds of negative energy. It grounds energy as it is connected to the Chakra most related to its color.

Properties: A powerful, electromagnetic, striated gem. Tourmaline strengthens body, spirit (and meridians), as it transmutes lower frequency thought/energy to a higher frequency of light and brings light/spirit into the physical. Therefore, it can actually balance ALL the Chakra centers. Tourmaline radiates light protection for wearer. This stone clears higher frequencies, effectively as it forms a protective shield all over the body (Aura).

Tourmaline is a rod of power. I equate this crystal to that of the spinal column. It makes us stand up for ourselves, promoting confidence, self-realization, inspiration, tolerance and compassion. Therefore, it is one of my favorite crystals for alleviating fear. It banishes the victim mentality. Like the spinal column, tourmaline works like a lightning rod of energy from the tip of the coccyx to the apex of the axis, tourmaline affects every aspect of the physical to the emotional. The strength of tourmaline is in its many colors due to its mineral make up. Again like, the spine, tourmaline brings balance. It brings balance to both right and left brain hemispheres, transforming negative thoughts to positive thoughts, finding equilibrium between Yin and Yang and male and female energies. All these traits make this an amazing healing stone.

Folk Remedies: Tourmaline is tension reliever, therefore, making it a great tool for spinal adjustments and muscle tension. This stone is especially for the nervous system and blood/lymph toxins. This crystal works on mental issues of anxiety, stress and paranoia. Wonderful for helping with dyslexia and therefore, good for hand-eye coordination. This crystal brings about the correct flow of energy, blood and lymph fluids. Tourmaline works as a great detoxing stone. It affect on mental issues, physical ailments and blood related disorders make it so.

Feng Shui: Use this crystal in any house/direction/center to treat (and neutralize negative energy). It can be used in the North for personal journeys, life paths and career. Use in the West for creativity and child-like wonder. Helpful in the Southwest for love and partners (use two pieces together here) and in the Northeast for widsom, self growth and harmony.

Crystal Cleansing: method 1 – 3 and method 5 – 8 (except Pink Tourmaline), which should not be charged in the sun.

History: Tourmaline is often considered a single mineral, this crystal is actually a group of related minerals. Tourmaline is a crystal silicate that usually occurs in long, slender columns. It is distinguished by its three-sided prisms. Tourmaline comes in a variety of colors including yellow, blue, green, pink, red, black, bluish black, brown and multicolored. Some types of the mineral change color when viewed from various angles. This stone gets its name from the Singhalese word turmali, which means different stone. This crystal has both piezoelectric and pyroelectric effects. This stone has been used throughout history for its beauty and stength. Adorning the crowns of Russian royalty, in pieces of Nordic jewelry and made into an intaglio of Alexander the Great. The famous gemologist, George F. Kunz introduced this mineral to Tiffany & Company. In England, the black version of this stone (Schorl) was used in Victorian times as a mourning stone.

It therefore, bring awareness back to a grounded state of mind. Tourmaline does not absorb negative energy. It repels it.

Electromagnetic fields are present everywhere in our environment but are invisible to the human eye. Electric fields can be produced by the local build-up of electric charges in the atmosphere associated with thunderstorms. They are also produced by man-made sources including X-rays, the electricity that comes out of every power socket, various kinds of higher frequency radio waves via TV antennas, computers, microwaves, radio stations or mobile phone base stations. It is suggested to carry this stone when you feel surrounded by negativity.

Tourmaline’s Complex Rainbow

Tourmaline is a complex group of minerals. The slightest change in the mineral composition can create a completely different set of colors. Known for its vast array of colors, it is also has the property of exhibiting different colors by reflected or transmitted light (dichroism). Tourmaline exhibits pyro-electricity, becoming electrically charged when heated, then cooled, giving them a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other. They also become charged under pressure, changing the polarity, creating an oscillation of the stone.

 

 

Cleansing & Charging Tourmaline

~ Cleansing a crystal is always a good idea to rid it of energies (negative or otherwise) that it may have picked up during handling and excessive use.

~ Charging a crystal is bringing its energy levels back up, after use and cleansing. Like re-charging a battery after it has lost its energy.  A great way to do this (and remind you that it is time to do so) is during a full moon.

Crystal Cleansing: method 1 -3 and 5 – 8

The Power of Color

Color plays a major role in determining how your crystal can help you.  A crystal’s color is due to its combination of minerals, which give it it’s own personality.  It contributes in what attracts you to it.  The psychological aspects of color determine how a crystal’s healing properties work.
