This wonderful pale blue tourmaline sublimates and heals discord, chaos, conflicts, doubts, and confusion.
Indicolite, which is a blue variety of Elbaite, is the rarest and most desirable member of the tourmaline family. It is prized as a valuable gemstone the combination of a good sparkle and being strongly pleochroic gives a very pleasing aspect. Depending on the viewing angle, it can appear to be anywhere from azure to dark blue. This coloration is due to trace impurities of iron and manganese. It is formed as the result of volcanic activity, and is found in many places around the world, with the best specimens coming from the Minas Gerais mines in Brazil. This stone has a vitreous luster and a colorless streak.
