Black Tourmaline is known as a powerful grounding crystal. It is believed to eliminate negative energies, aligns the energy centers of the body, reduce stress, and purify thoughts. It is the ultimate ‘bodyguard’ of crystals that guards the overall well-being.
Tourmaline is a member of a family of aluminum borosilicates. It is characterized by long, slender, and vertically striated crystals. The name Tourmaline is derived from the ancient Sinhalese word turmali meaning ‘a precious stone with mixed colours,’ or turamali meaning ‘something small from the earth.’
The healing and cleansing properties of Black Tourmaline are attributed to its black colour. It is known to absorb negative energy without diminishing its own. Besides drawing out negativity, the stone also envelopes its user in a bubble of protection. It protects against unwanted energy and low vibrations emanating from people, places, and events.
