Tourmaline Crystals

Tourmaline is a naturally occurring mineral widely used as a semi-precious gemstone. It comes in many different shapes and colours. It is unique in that it Tourmaline has a high natural output of Negative Ions, Alpha Waves and Far Infrared Rays (FIR). Tourmaline is first discovered in Sri Lanka in 1703 and is now found in all parts of the world.

Scientists have long been intrigued by the unique electrical and magnetic properties of tourmaline. Benjamin Franklin, the inventor of the lightning rod, possessed at least one tourmaline stone and is said to have used it in his experiments.

In 1880, Pierre Curie, co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics (with his wife, the famous Marie Curie), discovered with his brother Jacques, a mineralogist, that tourmaline carries a weak electric charge when it is heated (pyroelectricity) or when pressure is applied to its surface (piezoelectricity). In 1986 research in Japan confirmed that tourmaline carries a faint but constant electric charge of 0.06mA. No matter how small tourmaline is ground or crushed, it is still capable of conveying an electric current. An electrical charge enables Tourmaline to produce far infrared photon energy, negative ions, and alpha waves.*
