PHYSICAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF TOURMALINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourmaline\nrefers to a group of minerals belonging to Silicates, more exactly to\ncyclosilicates, of complex and highly variable composition. The formula can be\npresented as: (Ca, Na) (Al, Fe, Li, and Mg) 3 B3 Al3 (Al3, Si6, O27).\nTourmalines can be transparent, translucent, and even opaque. Their brilliance\nis glassy and their break is unequal, conchoidal. Their crystalline system is\nrhombohedral; they are found in the form of six-sided prismatic crystals,\ngranular aggregates, compact, fibrous and radiating, like the characteristic\n“tourmaline suns”. Tourmaline has a hardness of 7 to 7.5. It has a strong\npleochroism, that is to say that its color changes according to the angle of\nobservation and reveals a lighter shade and a shade darker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TOURMALINE COLORS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are\nmany colors of tourmaline, some frequent as the variety elbaite (colorless,\nblue, green, pink) and others much rarer as the variety Watermelon (pink in the\ncenter, green on the edges, like watermelon …). Here are some examples: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The black\ntourmaline, very bright, is opaque and sometimes has blue, green or brown shades.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rubellite,\nas the name suggests, is bright and deep red. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Afghan\ntourmaline of the Kunar Valley is peachy and soft green. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nindocolite is a deep blue, while the Brazilian Tourmaline Paraiba presents a\nrange of tones of bright blue, even electric!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pink\ntourmaline looks like pink sapphire but at a much more affordable price. Others\nare yellow, orange, and even gray…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE MAIN DEPOSITS OF TOURMALINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\npegmatites are rocks of magmatic origin, which are formed from the liquid\nresidues of the formation of the neighboring granite. Their composition is\ntherefore close to that of granite, but their richness in water allowed a good\ndiffusion of minerals and favored the appearance of large crystals. This is how\nmany gems appear, and among them, tourmaline … It is found in the form of\nrods triangular base, convex faces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nmajority of tourmaline comes today from Brazil. But depending on the colors and\nvarieties, these stones can come from Afghanistan (indicolites), India,\nMadagascar (rubellites), Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Burma, Russia (sib\u00e9rites) or\nThailand. There are even some crystals in France but they are not used in\njewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR TOURMALINE?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The colors,\nshapes and prices of tourmaline are very varied, it is therefore necessary\nabove all to rely on his tastes to choose his tourmaline jewelry. The intensity\nof its hue and the quality of its size are the main criteria of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourmaline\nwas not too hard, is one of the gems easy enough to carve; however, it requires\ngreat skill in finding the growth axis and taking into account the strong\npleochroism of the stone. The color often varies inside the crystal itself. All\nthe art of the lapidary is therefore to choose the right place and common sense\nto carve, the shape that will best highlight the beautiful colors of\ntourmaline. Thus, for example, the table should be parallel to the main axis\nfor dark stones, and perpendicular to lighter stones. The tourmaline cat’s eye,\nshe is cut in simple cabochon, whose base is parallel to the fibers, to bring\nout its shimmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

METALS ASSOCIATED WITH JEWELERY TOURMALINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nlightest tourmalines, as well as the smaller ones, are preferably associated\nwith discrete metals such as white gold or silver, even pink gold, which will\nallow them to freely express their brilliance and delicate nuances. The others,\nmore intense or larger, also go very well with yellow gold or black gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STORIES AND LEGENDS AROUND TOURMALINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word\n“tourmaline” comes from the Sinhalese “thuramali”, which\nmeans “stone with mixed colors” and which indicates all the stones\nwhose name was not known. What a beautiful name for a stone arrived on Earth\ncrossing a rainbow, imbued with all its colors, as the Egyptians believed! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known in\nEurope since the early eighteenth century, it was identified by the naturalist\nBuffon in 1759. The Empress of China Tzu Hsi, who ruled from 1860 to 1908,\nadored pink tourmaline and reserved the entire production of the Stewart Mine,\nSouthern California!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourmaline\nhas piezoelectric properties, that is, it charges electrically under stress\n(pressure). It is also pyroelectric, which means that it charges static\nelectricity at its ends when it is heated. It is also called Ceylon magnet.\nThis is why it is used in hair straighteners, whose purpose is to remove the\nstatic electricity that makes it frizz… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its\npresence in the soil is sometimes the precursor to the formation of a gold\ndeposit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tender\npink tourmaline is often offered, mounted on a ring, on Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIRTUES AND BENEFITS OF TOURMALINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is\nundoubtedly its electrical properties that explain its use in geobiology.\nTourmaline is reputedly protective of habitats against bad waves, whether\ntechnological origin (wifi network, mobile phones …) or natural, as the\nharmful areas of the Hartmann network, the electromagnetic grid that would\ncover the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nproperties attributed to tourmaline vary according to the type of gem. The\nblack tourmaline would be particularly effective, placed at the four corners of\na house, to protect it from a geobiological point of view. It would strengthen\nthe muscles, especially the heart. The “watermelon” version would be\neffective against emotional problems. Rubellite would help to keep the liver healthy;\nit would also protect the lymph and joints, not to mention the circulatory\nsystem. The blue tourmaline has beneficial effects on the glands like the\nthyroid, while the green concentrates its benefits on the blood problems\n(anemia, poisonings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ASTROLOGICAL CORRESPONDENCE OF TOURMALINE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourmaline\nis associated with different astrological signs depending on its color. Thus,\nAries will be helped by green tourmaline; black, too, but she also has a good\nrelationship with Scorpio. As for pink tourmaline, it keeps these two\nassociations but adds an affinity with Libra. Tourmaline is the 52nd wedding\nanniversary, and it’s the birthstone of October’s children.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
