Step 1
The properties of tourmaline have been of interest to mankind for many centuries. Even in ancient times, for example, people noticed the property of the mineral to attract dust to itself, like a magnet to iron. Modern researchers have proven that the chemical composition and properties of tourmaline directly depend on the color of the stone.
Step 2
Tourmalines are widely used in folk medicine. Blue and blue stones can relieve stress, calm the nervous system, relieve nightmares and improve sleep. Black stones improve the general condition of the body and increase immunity. Green tourmalines have a beneficial effect on the digestive system and liver function.
Step 3
The unifying property of all varieties of tourmaline is the effect on the brain, memory and vision. This is why minerals are often referred to as the "mind stone".
Step 4
Green tourmaline amulets are recommended for creative individuals. Such stones inspire, energize and open up new talents in a person. However, you should not be in constant contact with tourmaline. Otherwise, the effect may be reversed.
Step 5
Tourmaline talismans were worn not only by writers, actors, artists and poets, but also by representatives of the world of witchcraft and magic. Black tourmalines are considered to be witches' stones. Sorceresses often used these minerals for magical sessions, and after them they turned to their talismans for replenishing their energy reserves.
Step 6
Tourmalines were often used by jewelers as well. Craftsmen not only make beautiful jewelry from minerals, but also use them to make fakes. Red tourmaline, for example, looks little different from ruby.
