Crystals have been utilised by mankind for thousands of years and loving them is not hard to do. We admire their looks, colours and shapes, also crystals can be an invaluable tool in our life’s journey. Let me help you find the perfect crystal for you.
Black Tourmaline is one of the finest stones for helping us navigate detrimental emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. Its capacity to penetrate deeply into the energy field enables old patterns to emerge. Tourmaline can also absorb those harmful emotions, preventing us from feeling overwhelmed by them. It is among the best grounding stones.
Some varieties of tourmaline are very fragile and can crumble when handled; this fragility is due to the level of maturation of the stone. Older tourmalines are quite dense and can even reach a crystallisation phase, similar to those found in Erongo, Namibia. When a stone reaches its crystallisation form, it highlights its evolutionary maturity. Indian tourmaline also tends to be quite dense, while Brazilian tourmaline appears to be the youngest, especially when mica is present.
Black Tourmaline is a very powerful stone for absorbing toxicity, to the extent that its essences should be used with care if mercury fillings are present in the mouth, as it has the ability to extract the mercury and move it through the body.2
Due to its capacity to absorb light, Black Tourmaline, being black, helps us absorb toxicity from our internal processing. Associated with the Kidney and the Water element, it aids us in confronting ancestral fears and inherited behavioural patterns, bringing them into our awareness for processing.
Care Instructions: Cleanse in running water and recharge with Quartz or Amethyst. Avoid sunlight.
