The listing, Faceted Rectangle Cut Tourmalinated Quartz Lot 1 has ended.
Up for bid is a faceted rectangle cut gem- quality tourmalinated clear quartz. There are no chips, cracks or other inclusions. I originally bought this at a local gem faire, meaning to wire-wrap it and never got around to it. My loss is your gain! Shipping is free via 1st class mail. The following is from the Llewellyn Encyclopedia (www.llewellyn.com/encopedia):
Tourmalinated Quartz: Tourmalinated quartz is a clear form of quartz with silver filaments and threads of black tourmaline running through it. Much of this stone is found in Brazil.
Tourmalinated quartz is good for dissolving fear in oneself. It can aid in eliminating negative conditioning patterns we have experienced in our lives. Use of this type of quartz kept near the body and meditated upon is said to increase mental awareness and enhance psychic ability. It soothes the central nervous system, and helps to alleviate depression and nervous exhaustion. Because tourmalinated quartz is a combination of quartz and tourmaline, it has influences and characteristics of both these gems.
