Properties | 

Black Tourmaline is one of the best healing stones for grounding and protection!  While Tourmaline comes in every color, and black can be found in many varieties, the variety known as Schorl is always pure black.  Schorl is named after a small German village, on the western Ore Mountains, where Black Tourmaline used to be found inside Tin mines. 

If you are someone who has to spend hours each day working/living in a negative atmosphere, this is the stone you need.  It offers protection against psychic attacks while simultaneously acting as a purifying agent to clear our auric field of anything that does not serve us.  Black Tourmaline is a wonderful grounding stone that can help us stay centered in our own bodies and attuned to our higher self. 

Black Tourmaline also helps clear away negative thoughts, and instead encourages us to just relax and be sensible.  If you tend to internally  “beat yourself up” mentally for mistakes, this can also be a great crystal ally for you.  It can help one  to realize that we are still learning, growing, and that everything is going to be ok in the end. Black Tourmaline is an especially good stone for anyone seeking a better work/life balance or who needs to take stock of their real priorities.
