About the Mineral: Geological Characteristics
Black Tourmaline is a borosilicate mineral. It typically forms prismatic crystals that can be long and thin or short and thick. Crystals can also be terminated or have flat ends. It is a hard mineral with a Mohs hardness of 7–7.5. This means it can scratch glass and quartz.
Metaphysical Properties
Black Tourmaline is one of the main talismans for protection against negative energy. It works by creating a protective energy shield that repels negative energies, entities, and destructive forces, thereby safeguarding our personal energetic boundaries. It also helps purify and neutralize negative thoughts and inner conflicts. For this purpose, a ring of eight tourmaline stones can be made, which can also be placed on one's personal altar. Keep tourmaline with you when dealing with people who drain your energy – those who complain but do nothing to change things. Black Tourmaline improves physical well-being by strengthening bodily vitality and emotional stability.
Emotional level: cleanses anger, fears, and feelings of unworthiness. Strengthens emotional stability, self-confidence, and tolerance. Eliminates blockages, fears, and tensions.
