Metaphysical Properties:
Green Tourmaline is regarded as a powerful stone of the Heart, associated with compassion, emotional renewal & an appreciation of life. It is believed to encourage us to open our hearts to giving & receiving love, allowing us to grow in our relationships rather than stay stuck or shrink. Green Tourmaline is particularly associated with growth through the heart, encouraging us to recognise where we have outgrown old emotional patterns, relationships or ways of seeing ourselves. Its energy is also traditionally connected with vitality, abundance & the life force, making it a powerful stone for reconnecting with enthusiasm, inspiration & a deeper appreciation of being alive. This stone also serves as a reminder that love & abundance grows naturally. It is believed to support confidence in following the heart’s direction, particularly when making choices that lead towards greater fulfilment- even the ways & connections we can’t quite see yet.
How to use:
Carry Green Tourmaline when you are ready to grow beyond old emotional patterns or ready for a new chapter in love. Place it on your Heart Chakra during quiet reflection to connect with your desires, values & the direction your heart is guiding you.
