About this stone
One of the most powerful protective stones, Black Tourmaline absorbs and transmutes negative energy. It shields against electromagnetic pollution, promotes grounding, and creates an energetic boundary of safety and stability.
Geology · Formation
How it forms: Final 'soup' of a magma chamber.
Also known as Schorl, this is the ultimate 'sink' for the Earth's complex elements. It crystallizes from the final, mineral-heavy 'soup' of a cooling magma chamber, known as a pegmatite. The presence of Boron, a rare element that acts as a structural anchor, allows the tourmaline to absorb complex minerals. The Result: Opaque, jet-black columns that are often vertically striated.
