Quartz with Tourmaline bracelet

Tourmalinated Quartz is clear rock crystal (crystal quartz) which has grown together with black tourmaline, and shows strands of the tourmaline running through the quartz, hence "tourmalinated." It restores balance and well-being and 'washes' one's aura, assisting one to identify stagnant emotional patterns and then clearing them. The Black Tourmaline is purifying whilst the Quartz serves to amplify this. It aids clarity and can help one feel grounded and enlightened. The earliest use of tourmalinated quartz was for tools made by early man in Ethiopia over 2 million years ago.
