Tourmaline

          

This is a powerful and ancient stone, but its current name was given to it in the early 18th century, by Dutch people who brought it to Europe and called it "Tormalie"  - which means “stone with mixed colors” in Sri Lankan.

Tourmaline accelerates processes of awareness, and serves as a conduit for transmitting high spiritual information.
