Spinel gems are said to promote devotion to one another while enhancing physical and mental energy. As an alternative August birthstone, spinel adds regal elegance to pearls and clear gemstones like crystal quartz. Tourmalinated Quartz is a clear crystal quartz that has grown together with black tourmaline and shows strands of the tourmaline running through the quartz.  Tourmalinated quartz is believed to protect the wearer from negative thoughts and emotions.
