Tourmalated Quartz
Tourmalated Quartz is a Quartz crystal that has grown together with Tourmaline. It is a Clear Quartz crystal containing long and needle-like Tourmaline inclusions that are usually black (sometimes green) in colour.
The formation process of Tourmalinated Quartz, a unique variety of Quartz, is a fascinating event where liquid Quartz and Tourmaline interact under high temperatures.
These conditions are typically found in areas with high volcanic activity. In this heated, pressurized environment, the two minerals combine, But there's a catch: during the cooling process, Tourmaline, which forms as elongated, needle-like crystals, becomes trapped inside the Quartz crystal. This gives the resulting stone a distinctive appearance, with these black Tourmaline needles frozen in a moment of geological time, embedded in the clear or slightly milky Quartz crystal.
Origins -
Tourmalated Quartz can be found in various parts of the world, but it is mainly extracted from Minas Gerais in Brazil.
It is believed that the earliest primitive tools created by man are made of Tourmalinated Quartz which date back to 2.5 million years ago. Geologists discovered these tools in the Omo Valley in Ethiopia and were fashioned by Hominids. Quartz was said to have just the right hardness and brittleness for this application
Healing Properties -
Tourmalated Quartz absorbs and neutralize malevolent forces and emotions such as jealousy, resentment, and bitterness. Its potency is particularly harnessed when the stone is in direct contact with the skin.
Tourmalated quartz is a healing stone for grounding, protection, and balance. These properties interweave together to keep you present while protecting you from any negativity swirling around you

Feng Shui -
In Feng Shui, Tourmalinated Quartz carries protective, grounding, clarifying energy. Place your mala near the entrance to protect while maintaining clarity, or in any space that needs both grounding and brightness.
Cleansing -
Due to Tourmalinated Quartz absorbing negative energy, it’s essential to cleanse the stone on a daily basis if you are wearing it or after you use it.
If it is just placed in the home I normally cleanse it once a week or when it starts to feel energetically heavy.
To cleanse, Tourmalinated Quartz is a water-safe crystal as we know from the Mohs hardness scale it has a 7, so you can hold your stone under running water to cleanse or let it soak in rain water.
Charging -
We find that the best way to charge this stone is by putting it on top of a rock crystal cluster or at sunrise and allowing it to soak up the fresh morning sky.
