Whether meditating with healing crystals, collecting them for your altar, or simply loving how your mineral lamps look decorating your shelves, tourmaline gemstones are an absolute must! At Purlife, we love tourmaline’s many healing properties. From negative ions to alpha waves, here’s how to stay grounded with tourmaline gemstones.
What Are Tourmaline Gemstones
Tourmaline gemstones are semi-precious minerals that are used for a multitude of reasons that range from aesthetic decorations to healing practices. Tourmaline gemstones emit a high natural output of negative ions, alpha waves, and far-infrared rays. These beautiful gemstones come in various colors, from sea green, teal, black, yellow, brown, and just about every color.
Tourmaline gemstones are thought to have healing properties due to their unique composition. This miracle mineral has unique electrical and magnetic properties that make help aid in healing. What is truly amazing are the pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties.
What makes tourmaline so special is that it has both positive and negative electrodes. This produces far infrared rays, negative ions, and alpha waves.
Negative Ions
Negative ions occur naturally in nature, but as we move towards urban centers, positive ions take over. These ions are oxygen molecules that have gained or lost a charge, most often by sunlight, breaking water, and radiation. negative ions are to thank because you feel different when you are deep or standing on the beach as waves break. Tourmaline gemstones also create negative ions. To create negative ions, tourmaline must first be heated and charged.
Alpha Waves
Alpha waves are the dominant waves during calm and meditative states. These waves aid in overall alertness, mental coordination, and calmness. These waves are naturally occurring and can be found in brain waves. Alpha waves created by tourmaline’s electrical charge also aid in falling asleep and improve the body’s ability to heal.
