Spiritual and Metaphysical Qualities:
Ancient legend says that tourmaline can be found in all colours because it travelled along a rainbow and collected all the rainbow's colours. Tourmaline helps with discernment, intuition, insight, and the power of imagination. Medieval shamans considered tourmaline to be ‘receptive’ and to help with mystical and meditative connection. Tourmaline is said to polarize light and attract light bodies. It also attracts sympathy and friendship. It introduces the presence of compassion and wisdom when dealing with others because it promotes flexibility of thought and open-mindedness. Alchemists likened tourmaline to the philosopher’s stone, granting enlightenment and enhancing spiritual connection. Pink tourmaline represents a love of humanity and humanitarianism and promotes sympathy towards others. It is an excellent stone for healers and counselors because it promotes better listening and understanding. It carries the virtue of unconditional love and friendship. Pink tourmaline radiates the highest amount of love of all the different colored tourmalines. It's also for people who bear a broken heart as it encourages love and gently disperses emotional pain and dissolves disruptive feelings. It calms the negative emotions that upset relationships. In the esoteric tradition of the 7 Rays, tourmaline is a semiprecious stone of the 6th Ray (devotion) and aligns with the 3rd solar plexus or Manipura chakra. Tourmaline is a birthstone for Taurus and Gemini. Pink tourmaline is a birthstone for Aries, Cancer, Leo, and Sagittarius.
Gold’s beauty symbolizes wealth and prosperity. It is also said to facilitate communication between humans and a spiritual world. Gold through history has been associated with the numinous including the sun, divinity and eternal life as well as magical rituals. For example, golden amulets were perceived as protecting primarily children against harm and curses, and especially the evil eye. Archaeology tends to present golden objects as having religious or magical properties when they are found in areas that suggest some form of ritual performances and/or ritual deposition. In the esoteric tradition of the 7 Rays, gold is the metal of the 1st Ray (will).
