Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline is a complex stone made up mostly of Boron (magma/molten rock) or borate silicate. As with many black stones, Black Tourmaline is great to use for grounding and protection. Black Tourmaline represents purification or the cleansing of the emotional body. This stone can help rid the mind of any negative energies and thoughts like anxiety, anger and feelings of worthlessness.

This stone is known for helping relieve stress and tension, and can often be seen as a symbol of strength. This stone is believed to help give the bearer inner strength, especially if the bearer is going through a type of substance abuse or they have harmful behaviors. This stone can help inspire a positive outlook and may even help you to sleep by eliminating negative energies.

Black Tourmaline is a very resilient stone but it still likes to be cleansed often. A quick rinse in running water will help to cleanse the stone, but beware of prolonged exposure because it could cause damage to the stone. Smudging is a good way to clear out the bad juju this stone is known for sucking up.
