"Tourmaline Quartz" refers to Rock Crystal with clearly visible needle-like inclusions of mostly black Tourmaline (black). The terms "hairstone" and "needlestone" are commonly used as synonyms, referring to Rock Crystals with elongated inclusions of various minerals (e.g., Actinolite Quartz with green needles and Rutilated Quartz with yellow-gold needles). +++ In analytical stone healing according to Michael Gienger Tourmaline Quartz is of great importance, because it helps to solve inner conflicts and to accept oneself as one is - with all the dark sides, but also with the lovable qualities. The effect of the gemstone is based on the combination of the black Tourmaline (black) with the light Rock Crystal, which together lead to a holistic, harmonious attitude towards life. In astrology, Tourmaline Quartz is assigned to the zodiac sign of Capricorn to give flexibility to people of this zodiac sign. +++ When designing gemstone necklaces and bracelets from Tourmaline Quartz strands, flat shapes are especially popular, as this shows off the two-tone color well. The strands of Tourmaline Quartz have a length of about 38 - 40cm, unless otherwise specified in the individual strand.
