BLACK TOURMALINE

Tourmaline is a semi-precious gemstone with a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale.  Tourmaline is a combination of several minerals, the most common or which are Elbaite, Schorl, and Dravite.  Tourmaline comes in a very wide variety of colours.  Today’s showcased piece is Black Tourmaline.

 

Tourmaline is a healing crystal that is associated with moving beyond old habits which in turn makes change a little easier. 

 

Tourmaline is said to be a powerful grounding stone and enhances tolerance and understanding.  This is the stone of choice when a positive attitude is essential.

 

In ancient times, it was used to ward off evil spirits. Today it is still used as a shamanic stone for protection and purification.

 

Black Tourmaline is great to wear at work for clarify and energy and is used to benefit those with stressful jobs to release anxiety and even anger.

 

Tourmaline is said to reduce toxins that cause chronic diseases and to cause a cleaning of the nervous system which again, as mentioned earlier, helps to create less stress, alertness as well as greater circulation.  It is important to remember that all healing starts on a spiritual level.

 

Black Tourmaline is associated with the Root chakra.
