Tourmaline is a very popular stone for jewelry makers. Revered for its variety of colors and hardiness, tourmaline has been used in jewelry making for centuries. All Tourmaline has the physical property of being pyroelectric, meaning that it can develop opposite charges at opposite ends of the crystal when heated or cooled, creating a kind of static-electricity effect.  Tourmalines are well-known in metaphysical circles as wonderful crystals for healing and protection.  They are excellent for balancing the hemispheres of the brain, clearing away blockages and transmitting negative energies.  Tourmalines work well with all of the Chakras, and promote compassion, empathy, sympathy,...
