More About Tourmaline:
Tourmaline is a hard gemstone that comes in a variety of colors, but the most common is the iron-rich black variety known as Schorl. This variety contains the most iron, accounting for both the color and the stone’s reputation as the best all-around protective energy magnet around (which is why it’s our go-to stone for protection and removal of negative energy). Many people keep a piece with them all the time — either in a pocket or purse, or worn as a pendant or bracelet. Long, slender crystals form in parallel lines, roughly shiny and a good material for prismatic pendants and other jewelry that showcases its natural texture. When heated or rubbed, it can become electrically charged.
The formula of Black Tourmaline is:
Na(Mg,Fe,Li,Mn,Al)3Al6(Bo3)3Si6O18(OH,F)4
Working with Black Tourmaline:
Black tourmaline is a protective stone, absorbing negative energy and promoting spiritual calm and overall balance.Its use goes back some time,for everything from preventing illness in the middle ages to the more modern application of protecting modern people from stray electricity.Black tourmaline is associated with the base chakra, and hence is excellent for grounding.

Hi Ashley, Ive literally been holding onto a piece of Black Tourmaline all day.
Oh how wonderful- what a great coincidence! 🙂 Black tourmaline is so amazing! Crystal blesssings, Mary <3
This was the first protection stone I got. I noticed a change within 5 minutes of being home and having it in my pocket. My go-to when I need a protection stone.
Love that, Chris! <3 This is my go-to protection stone as well... I always feel better when I have one in my pocket. Thanks so much for reading, and crystal blessings!
I was wearing black tourmaline when I went to a metaphysical event. I didn’t know who would be there or what type of energies they carried. Several people said they sensed a shield or sheath around me. One person said she couldn’t touch me. Another person said every time she got near me she felt an invisible energy/force push her away. I was amazed. That was my confirmation that it worked.
Wow, that’s really neat April! Thanks so much for sharing, it’s definitely a powerful stone! <3 Crystal blessings!
