Introduction Benefits And Uses Of Tourmaline

1. What is black tourmaline?

Tourmaline is derived from the ancient Sinhalese word "toramalli", which means "omnichrome stone". Spanish conquistadors discovered a green mineral in Brazil that was thought to be an emerald until the late 18th century, when scientists realized that it was another mineral, tourmaline (Proctor, 1985). Tourmaline can produce almost any color, and its color range is second to none in the gemstone world. According to ancient Egyptian legend, tourmaline grew from the earth toward the sun over a long period of time, moving along the rainbow and thus collecting all the colors of the rainbow, hence the name "rainbow gem".

2. Benefits of black tourmaline:

• Drawing out the negative and bringing in the positive

Black tourmaline is known for its ability to eliminate negative energy and bring in positive energy when cleansing and purifying. It has been used mechanically because of its ability to carry a negative charge at one end and a positive charge at the other. Therefore, in crystal healing, using a piece of Black Tourmaline and pointing one side away from the body will help draw out negative energy and bring in positive energy. When worn as a necklace, this stone protects the wearer from negative energy and clears any lingering negative energy they may still be carrying.

• Protection

Throughout history, black tourmaline has been used as a stone of protection. Shamanic practitioners use black tourmaline as protection in ritual healing. Many believe that black tourmaline is also beneficial in blocking negative spirits or energies and can protect against spiritual attacks. Worn as a necklace, this stone will help the wearer block negative energy from those around them and prevent negative energy from seeping into the environment.

3. How to use black tourmaline?

• During meditation. Get into a comfortable position, focus on your breath while holding your back tourmaline, and imagine all the tension flowing from your body into the crystal, transforming it into positive energy.

• In your home. Place Black Tourmaline by your bed or in the corner of your room to provide greater protection for you and your space.

• It may be a good idea to carry it in your pocket for extra protection in public or at work.

• Wear jewelry containing black tourmaline, such as bracelets or necklaces.

Black Tourmaline is such a powerful stone to support you in feeling safe in the moment and trusting that everything will be okay.
