Unveiling the mysteries of tourmaline

The healing properties of tourmaline

Tourmaline is renowned for its diverse healing properties, which vary depending on its colour. Generally, it is believed to be a powerful protective stone that can shield against negative energies and psychic attacks. It is also thought to promote detoxification, improve circulation, and boost the immune system. Different colours of tourmaline are associated with specific chakras, allowing for targeted healing. At Sarene Babboo Gems, we believe in the power of tourmaline to promote emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.

Formation, time and colours

Tourmaline is a complex borosilicate mineral that forms in igneous and metamorphic rocks during hydrothermal activity. This process can take millions of years as mineral-rich fluids cool and crystallise within the earth's crust. The presence of various trace elements during formation gives tourmaline its wide array of colours, including black (schorl), brown (dravite), pink (rubellite), green (verdelite), blue (indicolite), and watermelon (a combination of pink and green). Sarene Babboo Gems sources tourmaline from reputable mines to ensure the authenticity and quality of our crystals.

Uses and users of tourmaline

Tourmaline has been used for centuries by various cultures for its perceived metaphysical properties. Crystal healers often use tourmaline to balance the chakras, promote grounding, and clear energetic blockages. Jewellery designers prize tourmaline for its beauty and versatility, incorporating it into rings, necklaces, and earrings. Additionally, crystal enthusiasts collect tourmaline for its unique colours and formations. At Sarene Babboo Gems, we offer a wide selection of tourmaline pieces to cater to the diverse needs of our customers.
