Tourmalated Quartz

Tourmalated Quartz is another crystal I feel is frequently underestimated. Also known as Tourmalinated Quartz, this amazing stone shares the properties of its components – the grounding and deflection of negative energy found in Black Tourmaline combined with the energy amplification and consciousness raising ability of Quartz.  And because of its dual nature, Tourmalated Quartz can help bring balance to the Yin and Yang energies within you as well as help you see both sides of an issue or problem.  (See properties of Black Tourmaline and Clear Quartz). Put these two together and the combination creates a powerful ally for your spiritual arsenal.  While the Quartz can be an aid to those on the spiritual path, Black Tourmaline keeps you well-grounded, thus avoiding that flighty out-of-body sensation that can often result from working with higher vibration crystals.  While Quartz opens you up to higher plains and realms, Black Tourmaline stands guard to ensure nothing unwanted comes through. Lastly, this energetic duo has a cleansing effect on the aura, and is great for energy healing sessions and grid work. I personally use a Tourmalated Quartz wand as my grid activator crystal.

Note: Remember, stones and crystals are a product of nature. Inclusions, small nicks and matter within the stone are all normal and do not affect the stone's vibration.
