Black Tourmaline
“A grounding shield. Absorbs negative energy and clears the aura. Essential for empaths, EMF-heavy spaces, and psychic protection.”
About Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline (schorl) is the most grounding crystal in common use — a pyroelectric crystal that actually produces a small electrical charge when warmed or pressed. This physical property mirrors its energetic one: it takes in negative energy and neutralises it in the earth.
Pliny the Elder described it in the first century. Indian temple guardians placed it at thresholds. Modern sensitive people keep it by their WiFi router and bed.

How to Identify a Real Black Tourmaline
Common fakes: Dyed glass, plastic, or less valuable stones passed off as the real thing.
How to tell the real thing: Real crystals are heavier than glass or plastic of the same size, stay cool to the touch, and usually show natural inclusions or colour zoning — too-uniform colour is a warning sign. Buy from trusted sources and ask the seller about origin and treatment.
