“The Filter”

ENERGY: Grounding, Protective, Cleansing, Releasing, Active

FOCUS: Neutralizes internal negative energy, redirects it from external influences / Establishes energetic barriers

Black Tourmaline, with its vertical striations, channels and moves energy at a very rapid pace. Unlike quartz, tourmalines do not absorb energy (imagine quartz as sponges and tourmalines as straws). When they come into contact with negative energy they simply filter it and transform it back to a neutral frequency. Tourmalines direct energy from one source to another, which is why the black variety (schorl) is a very efficient and powerful stone for removing negative energy from one’s auric fields or physical environment (pair with quartz so excess energy can be dissolved). Black Tourmaline is known as a protective stone because not only does it rid you of any toxic vibrations that you are producing or holding on to, but if you come into contact with them externally through contact with an individual or space, it serves as a shield by deflecting this energy away from you.
