Deep black tourmaline beads, matte-to-glossy and light-absorbing — a grounded counterpoint to brighter stones in a stack.
Black tourmaline, known to mineralogists as schorl, is the most common member of the tourmaline family — its black comes from iron. It is both pyroelectric and piezoelectric, developing an electrical charge when heated or squeezed, a property documented since the 18th century.
Care: Tourmaline is brittle along its natural striations — avoid hard knocks. Wipe with a soft dry cloth.

About the stone
Black tourmaline, known to mineralogists as schorl, is the most common member of the tourmaline family — its deep black color comes from iron. The crystal is both pyroelectric and piezoelectric: it develops an electrical charge when heated or put under pressure, a property scientists have documented since the 18th century. Most schorl forms as glossy, striated prisms in granite pegmatites in Brazil, Pakistan, and Africa.

Pyrite is a perfect companion with your Tourmaline crystals
Black Tourmaline is universally known as the Ultimate Protection Stone. Its primary function is to act as a powerful energetic shield, protecting the wearer and their environment from psychic attack, emotional toxicity, and negative environmental stress. It is also one of the few crystals capable of neutralizing and transmuting electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation.
To leverage Black Tourmaline's EMF neutralizing properties, place it directly between yourself and the source of the radiation. The best spots are on your office desk near your computer, next to your Wi-Fi router, or near your smart meter. Its presence helps absorb the harmful energy frequencies, reducing energetic fatigue and mental fog caused by digital exposure.
For maximum effect, Tourmaline should be placed at the entry points of your home to stop negative energy before it enters (e.g., near the front door or windowsill). You can also place a piece in the four corners of a room to create a protective grid, ensuring the entire space is energetically secure and anchored to the earth.
While both are black and protective, their energy mechanics differ:
For daily, gentle environmental protection and grounding, Tourmaline is generally preferred.
No, Black Tourmaline (specifically the Schorl variety) is a relatively hard and durable stone with a rating between 7 and 7.5 on the Mohs scale. This makes it suitable for daily wear and handling. However, it can sometimes have natural fractures or fissures, so avoid rough handling or extreme temperature changes, which could cause chipping.
Because Black Tourmaline actively absorbs a high volume of negativity and environmental stress, it requires regular cleansing—ideally every few days if used heavily.
