About the Mineral: Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline is known as a protective stone because it clears toxic vibrations you may be producing or holding within yourself. It also serves as a shield, deflecting negative energy from external sources including people, spaces, and environments.
With its natural conductivity and ability to regulate energetic flow, black tourmaline supports the nervous system. It stabilizes overstimulated energy, calms reactive patterns, and grounds the body’s subtle electrical system.
Tourmalines do not absorb energy. Instead, they channel and move it efficiently through their vertical growth striations. When black tourmaline encounters negative energy, whether internal or external, it draws it in, filters it, and transmutes it into a neutral, balanced state. This directional movement makes the black variety especially effective for clearing energetic congestion from the aura or physical environment.
For complete energetic cleansing, pair black tourmaline with clear quartz. While tourmaline moves energy out like a straw, quartz acts like a sponge, dissolving and absorbing any remaining excess.
