These specimen packs are wonderful to display the natural habit of these crystals. They are all sourced from Afghanistan and show wonderful structure and form. Tourmaline is found in virtually every colour under the rainbow, this grouping focuses on the Clear, Blue and Green hues.

Tourmaline belongs to a complex family of aluminium borosilicates mixed with iron, magnesium, or other various metals that, depending on the proportions of its components, may form as red, pink, yellow, brown, black, green, blue or violet. Its prismatic, vertically striated crystals may be long and slender, or thick and columnar, and are uniquely triangular in cross-section. They often vary in coloration within a single specimen, lengthwise or in cross sections, and may be transparent or opaque. The name tourmaline comes from an ancient Sinhalese word turmali, meaning “a mixed colour precious stone,” or turamali, meaning “something small from the earth.”

An effective grounding stone, Tourmaline Quartz strengthens the body's energy field against external invasion and deflects detrimental environmental influences.  It is often seen as a symbol of unity and is an effective problem solver.  It eliminates crystallised patterns which are, or may have been, destructive in ones own life and releases tensions at any level.  Its liberating power against negative energy can be used to assist us to actualise the strength needed to alleviate negative or hostile relationships and situations. It harmonises disparate and opposite elements and polarities, and turns negative thoughts and energies into positive ones.  Psychologically, it helps to integrate and heal the shadow energies, alleviating self-sabotage.  It harmonises the meridians, the subtle bodies, and the chakras.
