While Black Tourmaline may seem stripped of any color, it’s a hugely powerful stone for those who want to wear a constant cloak of protection. Potent, inky black, and with strong grounding forces, this jet colored stone is known for being a swallower of negative energies. It effectively helps the wearer be absolved of dark feelings, turning these anxious vibrations into a positive spin that nurtures the soul.

Black Tourmaline is deeply connected to the base chakras, those earthly roots that help you to feel safe and secure in your place upon this earth. When your root chakras are beautifully balanced and in check, this grants you that deep-seated self-confidence to embrace who you are, speak your truth, and set upon your own path to spiritual healing. And Black Tourmaline can pave the way.

Hailing from the far-flung corners of the glove, Black Tourmaline can be found in the lush jungles of Brazil’s Amazon, the soaring mountains that split Pakistan and even beside the salt whipped waves of Maine. The first piece of Black Tourmaline was found back in the year 1400, deep in the rugged heart of Saxony, Germany where the dreamy piece of darkness was picked up close to an old tin mine. Since those days, Black Tourmaline has traveled a long way in our consciousness, and these unique properties make up the protective stone known for keeping bad energy away.
