Collection: Quartz with tourmaline inclusions

Quartz with tourmaline inclusions , also called tourmaline quartz , is a fascinating semi-precious stone both for its aesthetic properties and for its uses in lithotherapy and jewelry.

🌿 Description and Training

Quartz is a very common mineral (silicon dioxide – SiO₂), transparent or translucent. When it crystallizes in the presence of tourmaline crystals , these can become trapped inside the quartz during its formation.

• The inclusions are usually black tourmaline (schorl), but it can also be green or pink tourmaline, although this is rarer.

• Inclusions appear as thin dark or colored needles or rods within the clear quartz crystal.

• These stones typically form in silica-rich environments, with high temperatures and pressures that allow co-crystallization.

🔮 Properties in lithotherapy

Quartz

• Stone of mental clarity, concentration and energy amplification.

• Acts as an "amplifier" of the properties of other crystals.

Black tourmaline (most common)

• Stone of protection and anchoring .

• Would absorb negative and electromagnetic energies.

• Would promote emotional stability and self-confidence.

🧘♂️ Together : Tourmaline Quartz is said to combine the protection of tourmaline with the clarity/amplification of quartz, making it a powerful stone for those wishing to release mental or emotional tension while remaining centered.

💎 Uses

• Jewelry : Set in rings, pendants, or bracelets. Each piece is unique due to the random arrangement of inclusions.
