DRAVITE (Brown Tourmaline) CRYSTAL
There are many unique properties of tourmalines. First, they are piezoelectric which means that when a crystal is heated or compressed (or vibrated) a different
electrical charge will form at opposite ends of the crystal (an electrical potential). Conversely if an electrical potential is applied to the crystal, it will vibrate. Secondly they are pleochroic which means that the crystal
will look darker in color when viewed down the long axis of the crystal than
when viewed from the side. This property goes beyond the idea that the crystal
is just thicker in that direction. Even equally dimensioned crystals will demonstrate this trait. This property can be used as an advantage by gem cutters who may wish to enhance a crystal's pale color or weaken a strongly colored crystal.Dravite is a relatively rare form of tourmaline, usually black or dark brown (like this one). Dravite is the magnesium-rich end member in a series with schorl (the iron-rich end member). Dravite tourmaline can be used to both repel and protect against negativity.
It acts by protecting the user from being victimized by the negative energy of another. It also provides an increase in physical vitality, emotional stability and intellectual acuity. It furthers the awakening of altruism and activates
grounding between the first chakra and the center of the earth. Tourmaline acts to clear, balance, maintain and stimulate each of the chakras.
