Black Tourmaline is the ultimate protection stone that is ideal for purification and can get rid of unwanted energy in or around you. This beautiful stone turns these vibrations into positive and nurturing energy for your soul.

Black tourmaline was known as schorl since before the 1400's from the German village where it was found in. Black Tourmaline, or Schorl, forms in hydrothermal processes within rocks like pegmatites and metamorphic rocks. The infusion of elements, especially iron, during crystallisation gives it its black colour. Its unique trigonal crystal structure develops as mineral-rich fluids circulate through the Earth's crust. Black Tourmaline's piezoelectricity, generating an electric charge under pressure, adds to its appeal. Known for repelling negative energies, it is a sought-after crystal for protection and grounding.

are, speak your truth, and set upon your path to spiritual healing. We recommend Black Tourmaline as a daily companion that you can keep in your pocket, your car, or wear it as jewellery, creating your very own cloak of protection.

Black Tourmaline also blocks EMF waves from mobiles, laptops, televisions, and all other small electronics. Regular cleansing with water helps maintain its efficacy.

Pairing Black Tourmaline

Pairing it with Hematite or Smokey Quartz intensifies its grounding abilities, creating a potent shield against negativity. This dark crystal serves as a reliable companion for those seeking to anchor themselves in the present moment and guard against external disturbances.
