This nurturing gemstone can be sourced in Afghanistan, Africa, Brazil, and the USA, with some of the best quality gemstones originating from California.  

Metaphysical and healing properties

Tourmalines are thought to have their own healing properties according to their colour. Black Tourmaline is, for instance, believed to be grounding, protecting the wearer and giving a sense of self-confidence, whilst Green Tourmaline is believed to promote courage and strength.

Pink Tourmaline is associated with love and compassion, a very gentle and nourishing stone carrying a strong feminine yin vibration. Its soothing colour is calming and can aid meditation, promoting communication between the conscious and unconscious minds, restoring a sense of wholeness.

Its balancing, calming, and relaxing energies can benefit those suffering from insomnia, anxiety and feeling overwhelmed.

The frequency of Pink Tourmaline is connected to  the heart chakra, encouraging compassion and gentleness during times of growth and changes. An ultimate crystal to turn to when it comes to healing  matters of the heart.
