Pegmatite Black Tourmaline Sphere~CRPEGBTS

Pegmatite Black Tourmaline Sphere~CRPEGBTS. Pegmatites are extreme igneous rocks that form during the final stage of a magma's crystallization. They are extreme because they contain exceptionally large crystals and they sometimes contain minerals that are rarely found in other types of rocks. Large crystals in igneous rocks are usually attributed to a slow rate of crystallization. However, with pegmatites, large crystals are attributed to low-viscosity fluids that allow ions to be very mobile. During the early states of a magma's crystallization, the melt usually contains a significant amount of dissolved water and other volatiles such as chlorine, fluorine, and carbon dioxide. Water is not removed from the melt during the early crystallization process, so its concentration in the melt grows as crystallization progresses. Eventually there is an overabundance of water, and pockets of water separate from the melt. These pockets of superheated water are extremely rich in dissolved ions. The ions in the water are much more mobile than ions in the melt. This allows them to move about freely and form crystals rapidly. This is why crystals of a pegmatite grow so large. Most pegmatites are composed of quartz, feldspar, and mica, having a similar silicic composition to granite. Many of the world's largest crystals are found within pegmatites. These include crystals of microcline (Amazonite), quartz, mica, spodumene (Kunzite), beryl (Aquamarine), and tourmaline. Some individual crystals are over 10m (33 ft) long. Black tourmaline is an Iron rich grounding stone, grounding out to the magnetic core of the Earth, a stone of purification, absorbing negative energy and transmuting it into neutral, usable energy. The ritual of purification allows time for the redirection of the mind from daily matters to more spiritual planes. It also clears the energy systems of any thoughts or psychic debris that could cause blockages or imbalances if allowed to remain. It is a process of "energetic housecleaning" that is vitally important to anyone who strives for connection to their spiritual path. It can be used to diminish fear by promoting understanding and to encourage self confidence. It has been used by shamans worldwide, the African shaman have used it to awaken from the "dream of illusion". It balances the left and rights sides of the brain enhancing creativity and healing, and helps one release the concept of being the "victim". Black tourmaline asks you "are you holding onto old patterns that no longer serve you"? Or maybe you have been exposed to energies that are preventing you from being centered and focused. It is now time to take a "spiritual bath", to purify yourself and your environment through the use of tourmaline, smudging, sweat lodge or sauna. When you purify yourself and release any obsolete thoughts, beliefs, worries, or resentments, you are making room in your life for spiritual gifts to be received. 53mm
