Tourmaline is a stone that offers a wide variety of colors, ranging from colorless to black, red, green and blue. It is nicknamed the chameleon of gems, in reference not only to the diversity of its tones, but also to the fact that it is often confused with other precious stones. We will talk here about the black variety, also known as "Schorl", it is the most famous of the Tourmalines.

        

Story :  Over 2,300 years ago, a prominent ancient Greek naturalist and philosopher harbored a special fascination with gemstones, their characteristics and their "powers". Theophrastus was the first to decide to report all his research and theories on minerals. One day, he was able to observe that Tourmaline attracted straw, 

ashes or small pieces of wood if heated, revealing its pyroelectric characteristic. Its official discovery dates back to around 1400 BC, in a small town known as Zschorlau, Germany, from which it takes its name “Schorl”.

It is said that the great magicians of antiquity used this gem to protect themselves from bad luck, evil entities, and even demons. It is undoubtedly these ancient legends that make it still present today, so essential and so renowned in the world of protection.

         

Properties  :  Black Tourmaline is considered THE grounding stone par excellence. It is said to promote deep grounding and balance of all chakras. That it increases the vibratory rate of those who are regularly in contact with it and that it acts as a powerful bulwark against all that is negative. It is also considered to be a stone of superior protection. Its striated structure on the surface would also allow us to channel the energies that we send around us.

         

This variety of Tourmaline is indispensable in any meditation work. Its powerful radiation would penetrate our most resistant blockages, thus facilitating the return to consciousness. It would also promote concentration, thereby helping people and children who are a little too distracted or disconnected from reality. On the emotional level, this stone would be particularly effective against stress, anxieties, neuroses, fatigue and insomnia. Tourmaline being a stone that generates Harmony, it would also ward off feelings of sadness and depression.

         

According to certain scientific research, the pyroelectric virtues of black Tourmaline would reduce in mass the negative effects of electromagnetic waves. It would transform dense energy into a lighter vibration. We will therefore use this stone to protect ourselves from negative energies, but also to ward off pollution of electromagnetic origins (TV, computers, telephones, Wi-Fi, microwaves, etc.). In geobiology, it is besides the most effective stone to protect its hearth, it is enough simply to place 4 Tourmalines on each floor, with the 4 corners of the house (cardinal points).

            

On a physical level, thanks to its highly iron-laden composition, Black Tourmaline could relieve certain blood disorders. It is also known to promote good blood circulation. Affixed to the solar plexus chakra, it is said to give a lot of energy and to greatly limit fatigue. In general, it would also protect the nervous system and strengthen digestion, muscles, bones and teeth. It would limit pain and have a detox effect on the body.

               

On the emotional level, Black Tourmaline would promote our balance and help us to become aware of our place in the Universe and in society. It is a stone that commits us to righteousness, both on the spiritual level (honesty, fidelity, etc.) and on the physical level. Some even claim that it would improve motor skills. It can therefore be a favorable support and a valuable aid for children who are learning to walk, the elderly who have difficulty moving around, the disabled, people undergoing rehabilitation, as well as convalescents for whom the standing position is painful.

Good to know *: associated with an Amethyst and a Quartz-rose, the black Tourmaline offers its owner a deep and restorative sleep.

Turquénite (Fausse Turquoise)

      

Attention, avec l'utilisation intensive de la Turquoise véritable depuis des siècles, les principaux gisements s'épuisent peu à peu et la pierre est devenue beaucoup plus rare et plus chère. C'est pour cette raison que l'on voit émerger sur internet et ailleurs, de fausses Turquoises qui sont en réalité des Howlite teintées, aussi appelées "Turquénite" et qui n’a rien à voir en termes de propriétés avec la Turquoise véritable.
