Science & Origin of Dravite
Dravite, also known as brown tourmaline, is a sodium-magnesium member of the tourmaline family. The origin of the name comes from the Drava River area in present-day Slovenia, where the stone was first reported in 1884. Gustav Tschermak, who was a professor of mineralogy and petrography at the University of Vienna, coined the term „dravite“.Its color ranges from dark brown to light brown-yellow with semi-translucent crystals that almost resemble smoky quartz. The best and probably rarest specimens of dravite come from the mines of Yinnietharra, Australia. Other localities are mainly in Brazil, Mexico and Canada. kristalle
Importance & Energy
Dravite is a very strong grounding stone that increases one’s stamina, life force and protective energies. Our root and heart chakra become open and active when we work with or wear Dravite daily. As your heart begins to open, this stone indicates that it is okay to allow such feelings and emotions to flow freely throughout your body. This stone is here to calm and soothe your mind so that you can think and act with a clear head. Dravite urges us to be fully rooted in the physical plane with an open heart, eager to love, yet always protected. It is a very protective stone over your aura, providing a barrier between other people’s energy and your own. We recommend that you carry this with you if you know you are going to be in an environment where there may be many sick people or even strangers.
Dravite works specifically with the heart chakra to provide self-healing and rejuvenating energies. Opening your heart and allowing pain and grief to be faced is the only way to truly move forward on the road to recovery. This stone is here to help you face these emotions with an abundance of love and protective energies. For anyone dealing with sudden trauma or grief, we highly recommend meditating with a piece of dravite and carrying it with you daily. Be sure to cleanse and clear this stone regularly, as it works to draw out negative vibrations and may end up carrying some of its own. A simple saging will do the trick!
