Experiments perform by Pierre and Jaques Curie proved that Tourmaline generates a weak electrical charge. This electrical charge enables tourmaline to produce far infra red rays and negative ions making it a very powerful and unique gem. These properties have been studied and its now known that tourmaline can be helpful for:

1. Revitalization of cell metabolism
2. Strengthening of the immune system
3. stabilization of blood pressure
4. improvement in blood circulation    (dilation of vessels)
5. strengthening of the bones
6. purification of the blood (increase in alkalinity)
7. facilitation of breathing
8. reduction in pulse rate
9. enhancement of heart function
10. increase of mental alertness
