About the stone

Black tourmaline (the schorl variety) is the most common form of tourmaline — long, prismatic crystals with characteristic vertical striations along their length. Found worldwide, with Brazil, Madagascar, and Pakistan among the major sources.

In crystal tradition

In crystal tradition, black tourmaline is associated with the root chakra and is long-valued as one of the primary protection and grounding stones in crystal practice. Often kept by entrances of homes, on workspaces, or carried as a touchstone for grounding. Sometimes used at the corners of crystal grids for protective intention.

Each piece is one of a kind. Natural variations in colour, shape, size, and pattern are part of what makes the stone what it is — the photograph shows a representative example, your piece will look slightly different.
