What is Tourmaline?
Tourmaline is not a single mineral, but a group of minerals with a similar crystal structure. Different tourmalines contain different elements, and occur in many different colors. Tourmaline is often confused with other types of gemstones, but is truly unique in its healing and restorative powers.
Each variety of tourmaline has its own chemical formula, but tourmaline always has a six-atom ring. The elements found in tourmalines can include: aluminum, boron, silicon, chromium, oxygen, hydrogen, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium, iron and lithium. Tourmalines are among the most complicated chemical formulas of all minerals.

Increase blood flow
Increase ATP formation in mitochondria, which can accelerate cell repair and healing
