Tourmaline (Schorl) on Feldspar

Such a nonsense:  

In the world wide web you will find the following description:
Tourmaline has strong effects on the flux of energy. Therefore it is mainly used to stimulate the meridians during suppressing of scars or to divert surplusses of energy. Mentally schorl enables to keep a neutral and calm composure. It reduces negative thougths and helps to avoid stress and other strain. Physically it has relaxing and pain-relieving effects and helps to neutralize influences of rays by running blockades (caused by rays) and by diverting surplusses of energy from the body.

We prefer the following description:  

The black tourmaline is called “Schorl”.
The mineral shown in this photo is longitudinally grown  into a feldspar (orthoclas). It has vertical striations in parallel with the main axis. The mineral  comes from Brasil.

Chemically it is a iron and bor- rich cyclosilicate with a Mohs hardness of about 7. It is not fissionable and its break is brittle

The crystals are ditrigonal, triangular in diameter and roundish sides.

This mineral is a twin; the bigger crystal is 12 cm long, the other 8 cm.

You can buy this mineral in our shop.
