TOURMALINE

Tourmaline is one of the most beautiful stones on earth. Its popularity has grown immensely as more and more people are drawn to it. It has the ability to raise the vibration of what ever surrounds it. 

Its geometric design is one of the reasons Tourmaline possesses so much power. The long striated lines channel electrical beams of light which will immediately transform denser vibrations into positive energy currents. Tourmaline is one of the most complete stones here on earth at this time. It has the ability to reflect rays of the colour spectrum: from clear white to the deepest black. It adjusts its vibration to manifest a perfect expression of each colour.
Tourmaline can be used in any area where you want to increase the light force. It is used on alters, over temples and churches, or worn as jewelry.

It can teach us to expand and transform limiting beliefs into a much finer reality.  Tourmaline has a very specific message for us. "Align yourself with the forces of light and channel that radiance onto your world and into your life."
Tourmaline supplies us with a strong protective shield which enables us to grow from within while developing the disciplines needed to extend that light to the external world.
Tourmaline expresses inner and outer balance and freely shares this with us. It builds a bridge where the earth can merge with the heavens and subtle energy bodies can align with the physical. It creates a balance of forces by lowering the frequency of spirit and raising the frequency of denser matter: creating harmonious interbreeding of cosmic and material energies.
Tourmaline is not indigenous to earth, it has been materialised on this planet by higher life forms to assist us in the transition into the Aquarian Age. Tourmaline will build the rainbow bridge which our soul can cross and express its multidimensional forms.

PERIDOT

Peridot is one of natures most clear and vibrant green colours. Its vibration is not quite as high or intense as some of the other stones in this green spectrum. Malachite and Emerald are also in this colour but the green of those stones blends more with the blue colour ray than that of Peridot. Green- blue crystals direct energy towards the mental, emotional and spiritual levels whilst higher levels of yellow will carry a more 'healing' green into the physical plane.

It is particularly helpful to healers.  It also helps to balance the endocrine system, especially the adrenal glands, which govern the health of the physical body and are directly associated with the chakras. Peridot acts as a tonic to enliven and vamp up the entire system, making it stronger, healthier and more radiant.

Yellow is also the colour associated with the mind and intellect. Peridot is capable of effecting certain negative emotional states such as jealousy and anger. It can heal and cleanse hurt feelings, bruised egos and even help us to mend relationships.
