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.
Green Tourmaline is a vibrant crystal that supports vitality, prosperity, and love. It aligns with the heart chakra, encouraging compassion and emotional balance. It is a powerful heart-activation stone.
Green Tourmaline brings invigorating energy of growth and expansion to the emotional body. The heart chakra resonance of Green Tourmaline helps to calm the nervous system and emotions.
Pink Tourmaline is part of the colourful Elbaite group in the Tourmaline family. Other types include Indicolite (blue to blue/green), Verdelite (green) and Watermelon (pink with green). It is commonly formed within massive Quartz. It is a different mineral to the Red Tourmaline, Rubellite.
Pink Tourmaline is a positive crystal that brings strength as it opens your Heart chakra. These energies bring you to a place of love, through conviction, courage and strength. It improves energy circulation throughout the chakras and subtle bodies. Its balancing and heart energies lend you strength and courage so that you can view your situation with proper perspective and self-compassion. This can help you to identify and break free from negative situations such as an abusive relationship or a toxic work culture. Its energies can help you deal with the aftermath and discover the emotional support you need to adjust. This is a process of unlearning past destructive patterns and old emotional wounds that prevented you from finding joy in life.
Pink Tourmaline is also excellent for connecting with the Earth on an emotional level. This connection illuminates the relation between the Earth and humanity. This can help you live in a way that promotes the health of our planet.
