The efficacy and function of natural tourmaline crystal
Tourmaline, commonly known as tourmaline, bixibixi, and also translated as tourmaline, has the piezoelectric effect possessed by quartz and other substances. The origin places include Brazil, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, etc. Currently, in the international jewelry market, colored tourmalines such as Paraiba tourmaline have attracted the attention of collectors. Its hardness is between 7 and 7.5, the refractive index is approximately between 1.62 and 1.64, and the refractive index difference is about 0.020. Since Paraiba tourmaline contains copper elements inside, it will present a natural and bright blue-green color. Even in an environment with natural light or without a light source, it will emit a neon-like luster, which can be said to be one of the most attractive features of Paraiba tourmaline.
The Legend of Tourmaline
According to legend, if one can find the resting place of the rainbow, one can find eternal happiness and wealth. Although rainbows often appear, it is always impossible to find their starting points. Until 1500, a Portuguese exploration team discovered a kind of gemstone in Brazil that actually shone with colorful neon lights! It was like a rainbow shooting from the sky to the center of the earth. The ordinary stones bathed in the rainbow obtained all kinds of colors in the world along the way and were washed to be crystal clear. Not all stones are so lucky. The gemstone hidden at the resting place of the rainbow was later called "tourmaline (Tourmaline)".
It was not until 1768 that the famous Swedish scientist Linnaeus discovered that tourmaline also has piezoelectricity and pyroelectricity, which is the origin of the name "tourmaline".
The Implication of Tourmaline
Tourmaline is famous for its rich colors, and color is indeed the most important selling point of tourmaline. So, what are the implications of tourmaline? The implications of tourmaline include warding off evil spirits, representing power and wealth, and symbolizing luck.
• Warding off evil spirits: Tourmaline has a homophonic pronunciation with "warding off evil spirits" in Chinese, so tourmaline implies warding off evil spirits.
• Power and wealth: When tourmaline became popular in China, it was an ornament of the royal and noble families. Therefore, tourmaline also implies power and wealth.
• Luck: In the West, tourmaline implies luck.
The Characteristics of Tourmaline
Tourmaline belongs to mid-range gemstones. Because it is naturally full of ice cracks inside, its transparency is relatively poor, and there are usually many surface damages. The larger the bead diameter, the more obvious these problems are, so the prices also vary greatly. At the same time, the more vivid and shiny the color is, the higher the price will be. Among them, the vividness of the color is the most important, followed by the degree of defects such as the number of ice cracks. This is because most people pursue and love tourmaline mainly due to its vivid gemstone luster. Of course, like all crystals, the larger the size, the more expensive it is.
The Efficacy and Functions of Tourmaline
1. The Bioelectric Effect of Tourmaline
Each cell that makes up a living organism is a miniature generator. There are opposite charges inside and outside the cell membrane. The human body continuously inputs or outputs ions through the cell membrane to maintain the balance of ion concentration inside and outside the cell membrane, and bioelectric phenomena are generated accordingly. Therefore, from the perspective of bioelectricity, the human body is also a natural biological battery composed of numerous charged cells. Each charged cell is equivalent to a small capacitor, which has both positive and negative charges.
When a person is sick, the positive charges generated by the cells will be more than the negative charges, disrupting the normal bioelectric law. When the human body is excessively interfered by harmful radiation such as electromagnetic waves, the normal bioelectric law will also be disrupted, causing various biological mechanisms in the body to be disordered due to imbalance, and adverse phenomena such as insomnia, irritability, and decline of the body's defense function will occur. In a pathological state, human cells must be activated by external forces to restore the normal operation of bioelectric activities. Otherwise, if they are in a pathological potential for a long time, the illness will be aggravated or other diseases will occur. Because the surface of tourmaline always has a micro-current of 0.06ma that basically matches the bioelectricity of the human body, wearing tourmaline can replenish and regulate the bioelectricity of the human body at any time, restore the pathological potential to normal, and restore the normal law of human bioelectricity, thus playing a role in maintaining good health.
2. The Anion Effect of Tourmaline
Research shows that anions have very important curative effects on the human body. Anions can balance the pH value of the human body. If the air contains a high concentration of anions, after being inhaled by the human body, they can enhance the vitality of cells, promote cell metabolism, relieve fatigue, increase appetite, soothe nerves, etc. Therefore, anions are vividly called "longevity elements", "air vitamins", etc. Medical evidence shows that an adult needs 13 billion anions every day, while the places such as our offices and living rooms can only provide about 2 to 20 billion anions to the human body every day, which is far from enough for the human body's needs. In addition, anions have also been confirmed in the medical field to have the functions of killing bacteria and purifying the air. One of the functions of tourmaline is to release anions, which can effectively supplement the anions that people need daily, enabling people to stay in a healthy state for a long time.
3. Tourmaline Contains Abundant Trace Elements and Minerals
Although the content of trace elements in the human body is extremely small, they play a huge biological role. Among nearly a thousand enzymes in the human body, more than 70% of the enzymes must be activated by trace elements to exert their biological effects. Trace elements can affect the metabolism of nucleic acids, the carrier of genetic information in the body, and the electron transfer system. Trace elements participate in the synthesis of hormones and vitamins and can regulate the body's metabolism and growth and development functions. Trace elements can maintain the normal nutritional status and physiological functions of the body. Tourmaline contains abundant trace elements and minerals, which can supplement the trace elements needed by the human body.
4. Tourmaline Can Release the Function of Far Infrared Rays
Although far infrared rays are invisible and intangible, they are everywhere. Far infrared rays can promote the growth of animals and plants and are called the "life rays" by scientists. The human body can both release and absorb far infrared rays. Due to the strong radiation and penetration power of far infrared rays, as well as their significant temperature control effect and resonance effect, they are easily absorbed by various objects and converted into the internal energy of the objects. One of the functions of tourmaline is to release far infrared rays, which is beneficial to promoting the human body's metabolism, maintaining the normal energy activities of the body, improving the body's immunity, and enhancing the regenerative ability of tissues. Therefore, it is very helpful for human health care.
5. Bringing Wealth. Green tourmaline, also known as the wealth stone. High-quality green tourmaline has a green color similar to that of emerald. This is the color of nature, which can easily make people feel happy, joyful, and yearn for freedom. It can also broaden people's minds and horizons.
6. Warding off Evil Spirits and Protecting the House. Black tourmaline, also known as the evil-warding stone, is most well-known for its function of warding off evil spirits. It is often made into bracelets or decorations. Because the black tourmaline ore is almost opaque all over and is black, its energy is the strongest, and it has the function of warding off evil spirits and protecting the house.
7. Bringing Love. Red tourmaline, also known as the love stone, has an attractive rose red to pink color. It can attract love and friendship and increase the opposite-sex relationship. It can also make people happy and cheerful, dissolve indifference and alienation, dispel loneliness, and enhance affinity.
8. **The blue color emitted by blue tourmaline corresponds to the throat chakra of the human body. Therefore, blue tourmaline is helpful for the human respiratory tract and trachea. The blue magnetic field can make people's minds clear and emotions stable, especially enhancing psychic induction and the ability to predict things. Blue tourmaline is also helpful for enhancing personal persuasive ability and language expression ability.
9. **The yellow color of yellow tourmaline corresponds to the solar plexus chakra of the human body, which is very beneficial to the human gastrointestinal digestive system. Yellow gemstones are also a symbol of wealth, which can enhance financial luck and help the development of business. Yellow tourmaline can also make people calm, with clear thinking and well-organized. It can also make people handle things steadily.
Tourmaline is also called tourmaline because after being heated, both ends of the tourmaline will carry different charges and are likely to attract dust. Therefore, when it is placed for a period of time without being worn and then worn again, it should be demagnetized and purified, gently wiped with a soft cloth, and then worn. Finally, remember that your beloved treasures (including all crystal treasures) are more likely to be damaged by collision. So, after purchasing tourmaline on the Jinjie website, you need to be especially careful when wearing it.
The Taboos of Wearing Tourmaline
Tourmaline and crystals are similar in that they both have spirituality. Although its hardness is very high, try to avoid collisions. During normal washing and grooming, it is best to remove tourmaline jewelry as much as possible. Do not let it come into contact with soap bubbles or alkaline and acidic substances, as this will cause certain damage to tourmaline, disrupt its magnetic field, and make its energy impure. It is okay to rinse it with clean water.
Because tourmaline itself has a powerful magnetic field cleaning ability (or we can say that this is its most real function), usually, if a person is more sensitive, it will be difficult to adapt to the magnetic field of tourmaline at the beginning. Therefore, the taboos of wearing tourmaline are divided into two situations: groups insensitive to the magnetic field and groups sensitive to the magnetic field.
• Groups insensitive to the magnetic field: Such groups are divided into two types. One type is extremely confident and believes that they can handle all things. Basically, this group of people do not need and will not want to wear crystals, and it is not recommended for them to wear tourmaline either. Because the functions of tourmaline, such as enhancing self-confidence and reducing fear, are likely to make the self-confidence of this group of people swell, ignoring the thoughts and opinions of others. So, this group needs to pay attention when wearing tourmaline.
The other group has a relatively chaotic magnetic field around them. This group needs a certain amount of time to clean their own magnetic field and make themselves able to accept positive external influences. Undoubtedly, tourmaline is the best help for this group. This group can use the function of tourmaline to clean the magnetic field to make themselves perceive more power and re-understand themselves.
• Groups sensitive to the magnetic field: This is a group of people who can easily feel external forces. However, the impact is that if you are sensitive to the magnetic field, you must be a person with a sensitive heart (this is complementary). So, such people are often easily influenced by the outside world. Since tourmaline itself is a powerful scavenger of the magnetic field, there will be various discomforts when wearing tourmaline at the beginning, because tourmaline will break our magnetic field circle and clean up negative things. For sensitive people, this process will definitely not be comfortable. So, many people will feel dizzy, nauseous, and in short, uncomfortable when wearing tourmaline.
