What does my gemstone mean?
Tourmaline
Tourmalines occur in every colour present on the spectrum, giving it a reputation of the 'chameleon stone.' Generally speaking, gemstones that occur with a blue-tinted hue are thought to be representative of serenity, stability, and calmness. Tourmaline is a stone that cultivates compassion. It is a stone of reconciliation that fosters a cool-headed nature and attracts financial prosperity, healing and stability. Tourmaline is an absolutely wonderful stone to reaffirm one's roots and remain grounded.
