Tourmaline Quartz
Typical colors: translucent, black in needle-like pattern
Tourmaline quartz combines the properties of tourmaline and bright quartz crystal. Tourmaline purifies its own energies and protects against negativity, while Quartz amplifies the energies directed by them. This combination makes Tourmaline Quartz a powerful protective stone that, depending on the wearer's desired intention, can amplify and return negative energy, such as a mirror, or convert the negative energy into positive energy for the wearer.
Tourmaline quartz is an effective grounding stone that enhances the body's energy field against external influences and deflects harmful environmental influences. It is often seen as a symbol of unity and is an effective problem solver. It eliminates crystallized patterns that are, or may have been, destructive in one's own life and releases stresses at every level. Its liberating force against negative energy can be used to help us actualize the power needed to alleviate negative or hostile relationships and situations. Tourmaline quartz balances yin/yang energies. It harmonizes disparate and opposite elements and polarities and converts negative thoughts and energies into positive ones. Psychologically, it helps to integrate and heal the shadow energies, relieving self-sabotage. It harmonizes the meridians, the subtle bodies and the chakras.
Tourmaline quartz detoxifies the entire body and is used to treat disorders of the digestive tract.
