What is tourmaline?

Tourmaline also known as Electronic Stone is mined mainly in Brazil, China and Israel and it is the birthstone of October. This ore has many color variations and has been been highly valued.

Tourmalines' beneficial effects on health

Lower medical expenses of tourmaline miners

Medical expenses of tourmaline miners were significantly lower than those of other miners in Brazil, so

they started to assume that tourmaline might be good for health.

Beneficial effects on health in 1990’s

Tourmalines' positive effects particularly on the human body started to attract attention in the 1990's.

It is believed that the effects are due to the electronic properties of tourmaline and the chemical elements

contained in the stone.
Various effects on animals and plants have also been reported.

Known as Electronic Stone, Surface electric charge generation

Tourmaline has been known as a miracle stone which generates electricity since the beginning of the

18th century.
It was named as "Electronic Stone" by Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), Swedish botanist and physician.
In the 19th century, the brothers Pierre and Jacques Curie and Riecke elucidated how tourmaline generates electricity.

Generates negative ion

Tourmaline generates negative ions when external force is applied.
While the generation processes have not been fully elucidated, it is believed that it is due to

the piezoelectric properties of tourmaline.

Tourmaline generates little amount of negative ions when not in motion because atmospheric pressures and air friction are the only external force applied to it. However, the negative ions are cancelled out by positive ions floating in the air. This is why almost no negative ion can be detected when tourmaline is not  in motion.

Thermal effects

Tourmaline products make you feel warm. It is believed that tourmaline emits (far) infrared rays. This

characteristic is utilized to melt snow in areas affected by heavy snowfall.

Some statements about why tourmaline has beneficial effects can be found on websites and books

 but they are based on assumptions and guessing. We believe that no proven theory currently exists.

It is believed that tourmalines' beneficial effects on health are due to:
