Black Tourmaline Bracelet

Well-being

Tourmaline is a borosilicate with a wide range of colors: black, green, blue, yellow, pink, red. The name tourmaline comes from Sinhalese (Sri Lanka) and means “Stone of a thousand colors.” Tourmaline arrived late to the European continent. It was only cataloged by mineralogists in the 18th century.

It was imported from Ceylon to Holland to be cut there since 1703. In China, Empress Tzu Hsi who ruled from 1860 to 1908, imported pink tourmalines from Southern California. She particularly appreciated tourmalines and had many jewelry pieces and decorative objects made.

Later, in Minas Gerais, Brazil, tourmalines of all colors were found. Paraíba tourmaline, with its extraordinary lagoon blue color, is one of the rarest and most sought-after tourmalines.

In crystal healing, black tourmaline is considered one of the most powerful protection stones. It would protect against negative people and influences and is also used to protect living spaces.

Cleansing and recharging

Cleansing:

Tourmaline can be cleansed by running it under water for a few minutes. To preserve the jewelry setting, we recommend instead smudging with a palo santo stick or with white sage. Burn the palo santo or sage and pass your jewelry through the smoke released. Don’t forget to ventilate the room well after smudging.

Recharging:

Tourmaline can be recharged in the sun or by placing it in a quartz geode, on a quartz cluster or an amethyst druse. You can also use a flower of life plate
