Ah, Tourmaline, one of the gemstone world's greatest unrecognized treasures. This stone comes in a rainbow of colors and each color has its own unique healing and metaphysical properties, in addition to the family (or generic) properties of tourmaline.
Most people are familiar with black tourmaline and how it captures and transmutes negativity. Combined with selenite, black tourmaline is used to grid an area for a protective shield. .But did you know that Tourmaline in general is purifying and promotes self-confidence? That all the colors of Tourmaline will help you to understand yourself and be more aware of others. It reduces fear, calms paranoia, brings compassion, inspiration, tolerance and prosperity to the holder.
As far as the general healing characteristics of Tourmaline goes, it is a great detoxifier, combats bronchitis, diabetes, emphysema, pleurisy, pneumonia, dissolves blood clots and relieves ear aches.
All colors of tourmaline are beneficial to plants and helps to keep pests away while encouraging the plant's growth when buried in the soil near the plant. Green Tourmaline and Watermelon Tourmaline are especially useful when dealing with the plant kingdom. These two varieties will keep a plant company while promoting growth and abundance - especially with plants which flourish and reproduce better when in a large group. So if it works really well with plants, just think what it will do with an herbal remedy!
If Watermelon and Green Tourmaline are good for plants, they are even more potent when working with humans! They both assist in bringing inner peace and harmony, healing emotional hurts, while also teaching patience, diplomacy and aid with decision making, clarity of thought and wisdom. These gemstones reduce fear, panic attacks, depression, stress and nervous conditions. Green Tourmaline is especially helpful in stressful situations by quieting the mind and allowing you to relax and sleep. Colitis, diarrhea, constipation, weight loss and exhaustion are just a few other conditions this gemstone will help treat.
Physically Watermelon Tourmaline will help to regenerate nerves and muscles. Other properties include strengthening of the thymus, gall bladder, liver, heart, lungs, eyes, brain and intestines. Have dyslexia, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Aids, paralysis or other debilitating disease? Try working with Watermelon Tourmaline and see what happens.
If you are dealing with grief or insecurity in love, you may want to work with Pink Tourmaline. This gentle stone promotes love, release of pain and destructive habits, relaxation, compassion and healing on emotional and psychological levels. On a physical healing level, it is said to balance your endocrine system, as well as treat heart, lung and skin conditions.
Need help with your studies, business or intellectual pursuits? Yellow Tourmaline is a great stone with which to work. It can help combat Alzheimers and senility. This stone is especially suited for energy work and chakra balancing.
Spiritually, Indicolite or Blue Tourmaline is a good stone for meditation, awareness, inner peace, visualization, spiritual freedom and self expression. This stone can be used as a diagnostic tool to figure out what is wrong spiritually, physically, emotionally, or mentally. It helps one to release emotional blockages and deal with grief more strongly than the other colors as it is more spiritually attuned than pink, green, watermelon or yellow. This blue stone works best on the thyroid, fluid imbalances, kidneys, bladder, bacterial and viral infections, sinuses and burns. Night sweats a problem? Put an Indicolite under your pillow. Unfortunately, Indicolite is expensive and hard to find.
Of course, for an even higher spiritual level, purple-violet tourmaline is the best choice. It raises your consciousness, promotes compassion, empathy, devotion to loved ones, and assists with past life healing. This purple stone stimulates creativity and intuition.
