Also known as Schorl, Black Tourmaline is a powerful grounding stone revered across cultures for its protective and purifying properties. Spiritually, it acts as an energetic bodyguard—absorbing, transmuting, and shielding against negativity, psychic interference, and environmental stressors. Metaphysically, it anchors the soul to Earth, stabilizes the aura, and fosters emotional resilience.

This jet-black mineral belongs to the complex tourmaline family of borosilicates and is composed of Sodium Iron Aluminum Borate Silicate. It accounts for 95% of all tourmalines in nature and is most abundantly mined in Brazil, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and parts of Africa. The name Schorl originates from the village of Zschorlau in Saxony, Germany, while Tourmaline derives from the Sinhalese word turmali, meaning “mixed gemstones.”
