Metaphysical Properties of Paraiba Tourmaline

Paraiba tourmaline is a rare gemstone that is believed to have originated from Paraiba, Brazil. Paraiba tourmaline comes in a variety of colors in the blue and green range. It is unique because the stone contains small amounts of copper. The metaphysical healing properties of stones are based on the balance of scales: the metaphysical scale that balances your inner self and emotional health, as well as the corresponding astrological planets and signs. The use of the stone changes depending on the circumstances of the scale that applies. However, the meaning associated with the color of the stone always remains the same, and is a good clue as to what the stone can do.
