Tourmalinated Quartz is Clear Quartz that contains naturally occurring, visible needle-like inclusions of Black Tourmaline (Schorl). The quartz is typically transparent or semi-translucent, beautifully showcasing the black, needle-like or fibrous inclusions crisscrossing the clear host crystal. This combination is highly prized because it merges two powerful mineral energies into one synergistic stone. It possesses a high vitreous lustre and is a durable, popular choice for all forms of beads, cabochons, and striking jewellery.
Tourmalinated Quartz is known as the "Stone of Protection and Energetic Balance." It carries the amplifying, high-vibration energy of Clear Quartz, which boosts consciousness and clears energy, while the Black Tourmaline simultaneously provides strong grounding and acts as a powerful shield against negative energy. It is exceptionally effective at transmuting negative thoughts, emotional stress, and psychic attack into positive energy. It encourages harmony, balance, and clear communication, helping the user to organise and structure thoughts for practical, honourable action.
Hardness: 7 on the Mohs scale (making it durable for daily wear).
Chakra: Works to align all chakras, but is primarily connected to the Root Chakra (for grounding) and the Crown Chakra (for clarity/amplification).
Zodiac Sign: All signs benefit from Tourmalinated Quartz, but it is traditionally associated with Capricorn, Libra, and Gemini.
Benefits: Provides powerful grounding and energetic protection, amplifies intentions and energy flow, quickly transmutes negative thoughts and emotional stress, aids in balancing polarities and harmonising energy, and encourages mental clarity and objective problem-solving.
Source: Brazil (main source), USA, Australia, and other quartz deposits worldwide.
How to use Tourmalinated Quartz
Place it in your home: Keep a cluster or point in your office or any area of high conflict/stress to cleanse the environment and provide a protective, calming energetic shield.
Meditate with it: Hold the stone during meditation to achieve deep, protected grounding while simultaneously accelerating mental clarity and spiritual insight, promoting a balanced state.
Carry it: Keep a piece in your pocket or bag, especially when in crowded or stressful environments, to draw on its constant energy of protection and negativity absorption.
Wear it: As jewellery (a pendant close to the body is ideal) for continuous access to its protective, clarifying, and harmonising vibration throughout the day.
Use for energy work: Use a Tourmalinated Quartz wand or point to actively clear, cleanse, and balance the entire chakra system, drawing negative energy out and replacing it with clarified, amplified positive light.
