About this Gemstone

Black Tourmaline – also known as Schorl – is a powerful companion for finding inner stability and setting clear energetic boundaries. Known as one of nature’s strongest protective stones, it represents grounding, mental resilience, and energetic purity.

Historical Background

Black Tourmaline has been revered for its protective properties since ancient times. In Africa, India, and ancient Rome, it was worn as an amulet to ward off negative influences. Its ability to generate electric charge fascinated both scientists and mystics. In traditional medicine, it was seen as a stone of cleansing and energetic clarity.

Effect & Meaning

Black Tourmaline shields against negativity – whether external or from within one’s own thoughts. It calms inner restlessness, helps dissolve fear, and strengthens focus on what truly matters. Its deeply grounding effect provides stability, particularly during stressful periods or emotional strain.

Color Play & Structure

Its intense black color is both powerful and mysterious. Many specimens feature fine striations or naturally formed layers. Ranging from matte to gently lustrous, each stone expresses calm, depth, and timeless elegance – a testament to natural strength.
