Zodiac Stone: Gemini, Libra and Scorpio

Besides Tourmalinated Quartz, there are many spelling variations of the name of this stone: Tourmalated Quartz, Tourmaline Quartz, or Tourmaline in Quartz. All of these terms describe a clear Quartz crystal penetrated by Tourmaline needles.

Tourmalated Quartz is a very powerful crystal of balance, integrating yang and yin, masculine and feminine polarities, darkness and light, active and receptive. Regarded as a symbol of great fortune it is carried when luck is needed. Associated with both the Root and Crown chakras, its detoxifying energy will benefit anyone who needs to restore harmony. It helps to rise above pettiness and reduces self-sabotage until you can speak out. It deflects negative energy and unlocks energy blockages within the body. It aids clarity and can help one feel grounded and enlightened.

This crystal is a combination of both the energy of Black Tourmaline and the strong vibration of Clear quartz crystal, which amplifies the powerfully shielding Tourmaline energy. Just like Black Tourmaline, Tourmalinated Quartz stones have strong spiritual grounding energy as well as being potent psychic protection stones.

It is believed that the earliest primitive tools created by man are made of Tourmalinated Quartz which dates back to 2.5 million years ago. Geologists discovered these tools in the Omo Valley in Ethiopia and were fashioned by Hominids.

Tourmalated Quartz affirmation is: "I can live with uncertainties. My masculine and feminine energies are balancing one another."
