Tourmaline

Basic Information

Ancient magicians used the magical powers of Tourmaline to protect them from and repel any negative energies, entities or destructive forces. The negative energy will be absorbed by this gem and turned into positive energy. The colours Tourmaline form are splendid and range from pink, yellow, black, green, blue or violet as well as having one colour at the center and another to fill out the rest of the gem.

Tourmaline was sometimes called the “Ceylonese [Sri Lankan] Magnet” because it could attract and then repel hot ashes due to its pyroelectric properties.
