Blue Tourmaline is a striking member of the Elbaite mineral family. Blue and Green Elbaite crystals are often pleochroic, which means that the crystal appears darker in colour when viewed along its vertical axis, compared to viewing along its horizontal axis. Elbaite is an igneous mineral that almost always forms in granite pegmatites. It is a complex lithium-rich borosilicate mineral. Elbaite usually forms as heavily-striated elongated rods or prismatic crystals. Elbaite can be any colour of the rainbow, and crystals can be multi-coloured. Black is rare.

Indicolite is the blue variety of tourmaline, prized for its soothing energy and ability to enhance intuition, clarity, and emotional balance.
