Green Tourmaline Crystal Healing Properties
Tourmaline, a gemstone with ancient origins, holds a rich historical significance. Evidence of its existence dates back to the 2nd or 3rd century BC, notably seen in an Indian carving depicting Alexander the Great. Its exceptional quality lies in its diverse spectrum of colors—ranging from red, pink, and green to black, blue, violet, yellow, and brown. This remarkable crystal possesses unique properties, being both pyroelectric and piezoelectric. Dutch traders ingeniously utilized its properties, rubbing the gem to draw ashes from their meerschaum pipes, earning it the name ‘aschentrekkers’ or ash pullers.
