Complex and beautiful

This Green and Pink Tourmaline, Double-Terminated Quartz plus more specimen weighs 606g. It measures 115*65*90mm. This is a complex and beautiful specimen with fabulous Green Tourmaline and much more going on. The long Green Tourmaline crystal is quite pleochroic, looking lighter or darker at different angles. I think I see Topaz and Kunzite too. There is an intriguing dark crystal submerged in the middle of one face as well. I am not sure what it is. This specimen was sourced in Afghanistan for us by our partner, Lawrence Handicrafts.  Green Tourmaline is a beautiful complex lithium-rich borosilicate mineral. Elbaite usually forms as elongated rods or prismatic crystals that are heavily striated. Green (and blue) 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.

Kunzite is a pink Spodumene, which is a lithium aluminium silicate. It is lovely crystal that opens the heart and can fill your life with love energy. It will help you take in all the different love that surrounds you from animals, nature, people and our planet. This opens you up to Divine Love. Kunzite helps you create loving relationships as your life fills with love. It encourages you to find love of self and deep kindness and gentleness for yourself and others. Kunzite has strong healing powers for the emotions, partly by helping relieve panic, fear and other negative feelings.

Lepidolite is a Lithium-rich form of Mica. It is a stone for periods of transition as it gently stabilises emotions and soothes anxiety. Lepidolite is often used for stress relief and sleep, connecting mind and heart. It is also considered one of the best stones for emotional healing. Lepidolite has a strong relaxing, balancing and calming effect, bringing inner peace.

Lepidolite helps to reduce stress associated with change. Lepidolite brings light and hope. It helps you to get rid of mental blocks and see the reasons behind negative experiences enabling a shift in old energy patterns. Lepidolite can increase your concentration, decision-making, positivity, self-confidence and self-love to improve your situation.
