Geological Background:
Green Tourmaline, also known as Verdelite, is a boron silicate mineral commonly found in granite pegmatites, where it crystallises within cavities filled with silica-rich, mineral-laden hydrothermal fluids. These pegmatites often also contain feldspar and quartz, forming an ideal matrix that supports and stabilises tourmaline growth.
This specimen is a classic example of such a paragenesis, with shimmering green tourmaline crystals nestled within a natural mix of white feldspar and translucent quartz. Regions well-known for producing such pieces include Brazil, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States (California and Maine).
Crystal Type and Species:
- Tourmaline (Elbaite group) – A complex boron silicate mineral with a trigonal crystal system, green tourmaline often forms slender prismatic crystals with vertical striations and vitreous luster.
- Feldspar – A group of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals, typically white to cream in colour, known for their blocky or tabular crystal habit.
- Quartz (SiO₂) – A hard, crystalline silica mineral valued for its clarity and piezoelectric properties. It often hosts or coexists with other pegmatite minerals.
Metaphysical Properties:
Green Tourmaline is widely regarded as a stone of healing, vitality, and heart-centered energy:
- Aligns with the Heart Chakra, supporting emotional healing and compassion
- Promotes balance, courage, and resilience in times of change
- Encourages connection with nature and grounding through the feldspar and quartz matrix
- Amplifies energy and intention when paired with quartz
This combination is ideal for healers, collectors, and crystal grid designers looking for a harmonising and visually impressive specimen.
