History of Tourmalinated Quartz
Tourmalinated Quartz is clear rock crystal (crystal quartz) which has grown together with black tourmaline, and shows strands of the tourmaline running through the quartz, hence "tourmalinated." The earliest use of tourmalinated quartz was for tools made by hominds in Ethiopia over 2 million years ago.
Metaphysical Properties
Tourmalinated quartz is believed to protect the wearer from negative thoughts and emotions. It is said to be filled with energy that flashes through it and connects one with other fields of energy. Tourmalinated quartz is thought to provide a balancing of yin/yang energies and release negative patterns. It is used by some to treat disorders of the digestive tract and to detoxify the body. Tourmalinated quartz is aligned with the Zodiac signs Libra, Capricorn and Scorpio. It is associated with the 6th, Third Eye or Brow Chakra, but is also believed to be effective on the secondary chakras of the hands and feet, including the meridians.
Geological Properties
Although it can be found in many parts of the world, tourmalinated quartz used for jewelry-making comes mostly from Brazil.
Quartz is the best-known piezoelectric gem--it can carry an electrical charge when exposed to an applied voltage, in response to pressure or in response to mechanical stressors. Quartz is also a pyroelectric gem--able to generate an electric charge through rapid states of temperature change. These are the scientific qualities behind reliable and accurate quartz movements in watches. The same properties mean it is ideal for use in microphones, speakers, filters and sonar.

Larimar History
Larimar is a pectolite and is also known as:
- "Dolphin stone" for the charming and intelligent ocean creature
- "Caribbean gemstone" for its waves of ocean-blue color reminiscent of the waters near the Dominican Republic beach where it was found
- "Atlantis stone" for the belief by some that the Dominican Republic now stands where the legendary City of Atlantis fell
Larimar was reportedly discovered in 1916 by Father Miguel Domingo Fuertes Loren, but wasnt mined until decades later, when in 1974, Dominican Miguel Méndez and Peace Corps volunteer Norman Rilling noticed a piece of larimar on the Barahona province shoreline. Named for Miguels daughter, Larissa, and "mar," the Spanish word for "sea," larimar captures the exquisite beauty of the Caribbean Sea.

To date, the only known major deposits of larimar are found in the Dominican Republic, where it was most likely treasured by the areas first inhabitants, the Taino Indians. The only known major larimar mine is in this remote, mountainous location in the Dominican province of Barahona, where locals still mine the stone from narrow crevices using primitive hand tools. Other forms of pectolite can be found in the United States and Canada.

Common questions
- For pendants pictured without a bail (the piece that goes into the drill hole so you can slide a chain through), I will make a wire bail. I will need to be able to reach you to see what color bail you want the wire in.
Please keep dry. Some crystals will dissolve if they get wet. A little sweat against the skin or a little rain (if you are out and about) will be fine, but please do not shower or swim with the pieces.
