Tourmalinated quartz is clear quartz with rods of black tourmaline growing through it. It forms when black tourmaline and liquid quartz combine under high pressure and temperature, trapping the tourmaline needles inside the crystal quartz. The black tourmaline is also known as schorl.
Its strength has a long history: ancient tools made by early hominids, our distant relatives in the great ape family, have been found in Ethiopia dating back 2.5 million years, crafted from this stone for its resilience and reliability.

A stone of purification, balance and spiritual growth.
Tourmalinated quartz is cherished for its energetic qualities, believed to combine the amplifying and purifying properties of quartz with the grounding and protective energies of tourmaline. It is sought after for its harmonizing effect on body, mind and spirit, a popular choice for energy work, meditation and spiritual practice. In crystal energy work it is said to harmonize all the chakras: Crown, Third Eye (Brow), Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Sacral and Root.
Raw, unpolished crystals are believed to hold a powerful energy and spiritual essence. Untouched by human intervention, they are thought to keep the pure vibrations of the Earth, connecting us to the natural world and deepening spiritual connection.
Crystals have been prized for centuries for their beauty, their rich history and their believed metaphysical properties; Spirit Magicka makes no guarantee of any mystical or healing effect.
