About this Particular Crystal

This piece of gemmy, clear pink bi-color tourmaline has a beautifully defined natural color transition, with a soft rose-pink core that deepens toward a darker base and subtle neutral tones along the edges. I sourced this piece through a multi-generational, family-run mineral importer from Pakistan whose collections I trust to be ethically and responsibly obtained.

I don’t exactly have favorite crystals but I do have certain ones that I strongly resonate with, which include emerald, tourmaline, and calcite. If you find yourself collecting more of a certain type of stone than others, this is because its energy matches the vibrations of your core values and authentic essence. I love gemmy crystals that are like Jolly Ranchers. Seeing, holding, and engaging with tourmalines makes me feel soothed, open-hearted, brighter, and happier. I cannot get enough of them!

About the Mineral: Tourmaline

Tourmalines grow with vertical striations so they channel and move energy at a very rapid pace. Unlike quartz, tourmalines do not absorb energy (imagine quartz as sponges and tourmalines as straws). Tourmalines direct energy from one source to another, making them very effective crystals for loosening energetic blockages in one’s energy field. Pink tourmaline takes the energy you naturally produce and filters it with its loving pink rays. You can use this energy to support yourself first so you feel completely safe and nurtured, and then you can channel it into all areas of your life, creating joy and enthusiasm for living. Pink tourmaline moves energy from your heart space into your whole physical body and surrounding aura. This loving, pure, and warm energy is what you then outwardly project, creating a magnetic field that draws these same vibrations into your life.
