Black tourmaline or schörl as it is also called is a powerful black mineral that occurs in crystals often surrounded by quartz as a parent stone.

Healers, magicians and shamans have used black tourmaline to protect themselves from evil forces and connect with the earth spirits. It is also said to be able to remove blockages in the mind, inspire clarity around fears, bring presence to courage and insights about one's own limitations.

Black tourmaline is said to ground you and put you in touch with the power of the earth.

You can place black tourmaline in the hallway of your home to keep away negative energy or wear black tourmaline as a protective amulet.
