Tourmalinated Quartz is a type of clear rock crystal resulting from the fusion of white quartz with black tourmaline, producing the stone's uniquely striated appearance. Like many kinds of colorful quartz, prolonged exposure to light and heat will eventually alter its coloring and should therefore be avoided. Most of the world's stock is currently mined in Brazil.
Tourmalinated Quartz is a powerful shield-stone that is known to promote balance, stability, and grounding. Many say that it protects from negative energy and purifies one’s aura. It corresponds to the third eye chakra and can be used in daily meditation. This stone is also said to improve communication and assist in spiritual growth.
