METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF TOURMALINE

The pink color of tourmalines from many localities is the result of prolonged natural irradiation. It is also only one of the crystals that can be electrically charged and such crystals can help remove negative energies and blockages in the body chakras. It facilitates a smoother flow of energies between the chakras allowing superior healing of the body and mind.

Tourmaline’s energies interact with body energies and provide protection against negative influences and act as a talisman and shield. It also promotes spiritual transformations for an individual. It is used in crystal healing and meditation practices to promote physical and emotional balance, building greater creativity, calmness, and wisdom. A stabilized energy by a tourmaline can naturally give you the grounding you need for peaceful navigation in life.

HOW IT IS WORN

The crystal is often called a "chameleon" gemstone for its tendency to change color based on the angle at which the light falls on it. This makes it a popular choice among jewelry designers. It can be cut into beads or faceted stones and made into a necklace, bracelet, earrings, or ring. The stone can be cut into a variety of shapes, including round, oval, pear, and cushion, among others. When in immediate contact with the skin one can more effectively experience its mystical powers. It has been a crystal of desirability among many high profiles including royals and celebrities.

 HOW TO RECHARGE YOUR TOURMALINE

It becomes necessary to cleanse and recharge your tourmaline crystals after they have been exposed to energies for a long duration to bring out their maximum and magnificent potential. Crystals need not be recharged every day but once a week would work the magic. Place it under running water to cleanse the negative energies stored in it. Energies can be recharged from natural energies such as the sun, moon, and earth. So, one may keep the crystals under sunlight for a limited duration but be mindful that a few crystals might fade under sunlight. Moonlight exposure can also purify the crystal and it is a gentler and more effective alternative. One may also place it among other crystals or bury it in the ground to let it connect with the earth’s natural energy. It amplifies its grounding and stabilizing characteristics.

GEM CARE

Tourmaline is a comparatively hard gemstone with a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5, which makes it a durable everyday wear accessory. But it is still important to take proper care to retain its beauty over time.

Avoid exposing tourmaline to sudden temperature changes and extreme temperatures. It might cause the crystals to crack. Use mild soap and water to clean the crystal and never use abrasive chemicals and harsh tools. Store it in a jewelry box or a soft cloth to prevent scratches and other damages from other jewelry. Take your tourmaline jewelry to a professional jeweler for cleaning and maintenance on a regular basis.

HOW IS TOURMALINE GRADED

Tourmaline is graded based on several factors, including color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. The most important factor in grading tourmaline is color, with the most highly valued stones being those with intense, saturated hues. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) uses a grading system for tourmaline that includes three categories: hue, tone, and saturation.

Hue refers to the primary color of the tourmaline, such as green, pink, or blue. The tone of the stone refers to how light or dark it appears, with darker stones generally being more valuable. Saturation refers to the intensity or strength of the color, with highly saturated stones being more valuable than those with less intense color.

In addition to color, tourmaline is also graded based on clarity, with fewer inclusions or flaws leading to a higher grade. The cut of the stone also plays a role in its grade, with well-cut stones being more valuable. Finally, carat weight is also considered in grading tourmaline, with larger stones being more rare and valuable.
