At Moonrise Crystals we believe that there’s a crystal for every person and every situation. This Mixed Color Tourmaline was gifted to a very special person. They were nominated by someone who loves them very much.
She likes to write. But her life is so busy right now, there’s no time for hobbies. She’s got a cute toddler to chase around, a family business to keep organized, and it seems like there’s always a million other people or needs claiming her time. During the week, her husband works out of town so usually it’s all on her. She takes it in stride. But, it would be nice to have a moment to herself now and again. A spare hour where she doesn’t need tobe a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, bookkeeper or anything else. Just a little while to be grounded in herself and to let the words and ideas start to flow again.
Her mother helps out as much as she can. She wants her daughter to know that she’s doing a magnificent job keeping up with everything. There will be time again to write one day. This is just a brief busy season.

Tourmaline has a slight pyroelectric ability and can attract or repel hot ash. Depending on the color and variety, each stone has a different energy signature. But all colors have a grounded, deep and/or bold energy, rather than something subtle or ethereal. Each one shines bright with confidence and positive vibes. […]
