Review on EleeColorful Tourmaline Stretch Necklace Balance by Kathy Velez

first let me say that I'm a hopeful skeptic. Last week I was suffering from terrible depression after injuring my ankle again and was looking for something to ease my emotional pain. I can live with physical pain because it's just part of life, but emotional and spiritual sadness isn't easy to ignore. So I watched a video about how good black tourmaline is for various things, but what caught my attention was its use for heart-mind balance. I'm a tall man and an auto mechanic so I don't wear rings or bracelets but I have a few necklaces that I wear so I wanted a necklace but not pretty or decorative. I loved the look of this necklace and that it was simple but had more black tourmaline than glittery silver or gold. Well I got my necklace two days ago and put it on straight away, it barely fits around my huge neck but is comfortable and only gives when I bend my neck. The beads are quite large but well polished and good looking but maybe a bit big for some people. I know it sounds like bullshit but I felt better almost immediately, I felt really energized like something inside me was opening up and starting to flow. Maybe it's a placebo effect, maybe it's voodoo (same thing), but I feel a lot better. I know when you believe something works then it really works, although I still doubt that black tourmaline has really helped my mental state and makes me feel a lot happier. One note: My neck started breaking where this necklace hit my skin. I tried just washing it with Dawn dish soap but that didn't work. I know the company that makes the necklace said not to shower with it (in the description or maybe in the questions) but it was the only way I could keep my neck from cracking. I've been showering with it for a week now and haven't noticed any damage so we'll see what happens over time.
