As a powerful emotional balancer and cleanser, it is a great ally to help deal with stress. It is believed to be an excellent stone for sensitive & hyperactive children who have trouble sleeping.

History and Uses

Tourmaline has been known since ancient times. A likeness of Alexander the Great carved in India in the 2nd or 3rd century BC has been found. It is the only gemstone that has such a wide variety of colours including red, pink, green, black, blue, violet, yellow and brown. This amazing crystal is pyroelectric and piezoelectric and Dutch traders would rub them and use them to pull the ashes from their meerschaum pipes, hence their name aschentrekkers or ash pullers.

Geological Description
