Tourmalated Quartz


I have been going crystal crazy over the last few months, branching out and buying all sorts of new and exciting things. I found a metaphysical store about 2 hours away from me (that's actually one of the closer ones!) that has an incredible supply of magical stones and crystals...beyond my wildest dreams!

I recently was attracted to a piece of tourmalted quartz there...it really drew me because the quartz itself was incredbly clear with TONS on rainbows in it, and the tourmaline bits ran strong and clear within.

I thought I'd do a post disucssing interesting crystal and it's properties, since I didn' know much about it when I decided to buy a piece. The one pictured is not the one I own (camera battery is currently dead), but it gives a good general idea as to what you can expect when you go looking for a piece.

The coolest thing about this is that is it essentially two things in one: Tourmaline and Quartz. As such it contains the properties of both, and as quartz is an amplifyer and the needle-like formations of tourmaline act like conductors, the properties of each are even more amplified by the two being part of each other-you COULD look up the individual properties of quartz and tourmaline, and then consider them stronger due to the nature of this crystal.

Among it's properties are included the ability to restore balance to mind, body and spirit. It helps to destroy patterns and habits that are destructive, and can help stop self-sabotage. It keeps one's thoughts in the present and can aid in ridding one of past pain and negativity. It is thought to bring an abundance of luck to the person who carries or rubs it. It is also used for problem solving in many situations.
