About this Mineral Specimen

This striking black tourmaline crystal features a lustrous, well-preserved surface with its defining characteristic—the rare “Mercedes Benz” termination, a natural, three-fold triangular pattern that forms at the termination point of the crystal. This geometric feature is considered both aesthetically rare and energetically refined, signaling a high level of crystalline development and internal coherence. This type of termination is highly sought after not only for its refined appearance, but for its symmetry and symbolic resonance. The formation suggests focused directional energy, which amplifies the stone’s ability to channel and filter subtle frequencies with precision.

About Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline is a root chakra stone. With its vertical striations, it 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 draw it in and filter it, thus neutralizing and transmuting disruptive frequencies. 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). Because of its conductivity and ability to regulate energetic flow, Black Tourmaline is also associated with nervous system support—helping to stabilize overstimulated energy, calm hyperreactivity, and ground the body’s subtle electrical system. 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.
