MINERALOGY: Green Tourmaline, also known as Verdelite, is a variety of the mineral tourmaline — a complex boron silicate with the general formula (Ca,K,Na)(Al,Fe,Li,Mg,Mn)₃(Al,Cr,Fe,V)₆(BO₃)₃Si₆O₁₈(OH,F)₄. Its rich green color comes from traces of iron and, in some cases, chromium or vanadium. It crystallizes in the trigonal system as elongated prismatic columns with a characteristic striated surface and has a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5. Green Tourmaline is typically found in granite pegmatites and metamorphic schists, often alongside quartz, feldspar, and lepidolite.

HOW TO USE: Hold Green Tourmaline over your heart during meditation or carry it in your left pocket to invite healing and compassionate energy throughout the day. Use it during breathwork or nature-based practices to amplify your connection to growth and renewal.

HEALING PROPERTIES: Green Tourmaline is a powerful heart healer known for its ability to open and strengthen the Heart Chakra. It is said to promote feelings of compassion, patience, and tenderness while encouraging personal growth and emotional resilience. Green Tourmaline is believed to help release old wounds, invite abundance, and reconnect the spirit with the healing energy of the natural world.
