Green Tourmaline (Verdelite) crystal

This Green Tourmaline crystal is a pillar of ancient moss, holding the steady, silent strength of a sun-drenched valley! It has a rich, deep olive to forest-green color with the classic vertical striations (lines) that characterize tourmaline growth. Green Tourmaline is often called the "Stone of Vitality" and is highly prized for its connection to nature and the heart. It is considered one of the premier stones for the heart center, helping to clear emotional wounds, foster compassion, and transform negative thoughts into positive energy. Much like the plants it resembles, it helps ground your energy into the earth while simultaneously encouraging personal and spiritual growth. The structured, linear nature of the crystal is thought to help soothe an overactive mind and reduce anxiety. Because of their natural elongated shape and vertical lines, these crystals are often used as "wands" in energy work to direct or clear blockages in the body’s energy field. The natural "pencils" are highly sought after for organic-style jewelry. They are often set in gold or silver to be worn over the heart chakra. Placing these crystals on a desk is believed to boost creative focus and attract success and abundance in professional ventures. The deep, dark color and rugged shape make it a popular choice for pendants designed for a more earthy or masculine aesthetic.
