Green Tourmaline is a beautiful complex lithium-rich borosilicate mineral and a member of the Elbaite mineral family. Elbaite is an igneous mineral that almost always forms in granite pegmatites. Elbaite can be any colour of the rainbow, and crystals can be multi-coloured. Elbaite usually forms as elongated rods or prismatic crystals that are heavily striated. 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.

Green Tourmaline is a powerful heart-activation stone. It brings invigorating energy of growth and expansion to the emotional body. The resonance of Green Tourmaline aligns with the heart chakra, helping to calm the nervous system and emotions.
