Black Tourmaline is best known for its believed ability to transmute and purify negative energy. This crystal is thought to protect one's energy field against attachments, entities, and energetic debris. Similarly, it is grounding, and supportive and assists one to overcome chronic stress or worry. Also, Black Tourmaline helps to purify the body of toxins and wastes. Moreover, it provides protection from electromagnetic energy and is useful to place near computers. As such, this is a wonderful crystal to keep on a work desk in an office where you are likely to pick up on coworkers' negative energy and be exposed to multiple tech devices.
Tourmaline has been known since ancient times. A statue with the likeness of Alexander the Great has been found. It was believed to be carved in India in the 2nd or 3rd century BC. This is the only gemstone that has such a wide variety of colours including red, pink, green, black, blue, violet, yellow and brown. Also, this amazing crystal is pyroelectric and piezoelectric. Due to this, Dutch traders would rub them and use them to pull the ashes from their meerschaum pipes, hence their name aschentrekkers or ash pullers.
Black Tourmaline is a complex borosilicate with a hardness of 7 to 7.5. Its crystal pattern is hexagonal (trigonal) with prismatic crystals and striations running parallel to the main axis. The major areas where Tourmaline is found include Brazil, USA, Africa, Madagascar, Sri Lanka and Russia.
When I am grounded, I feel protected and safe.

Jewellery Warranty & Care
When crafted into jewellery, some crystals are more hardy than others.
For everyday wearers, we recommend crystals that fall in the Quartz family or have a Moh's hardness level of over 5.5-6.
Avoid excessive water exposure, especially in pools or the ocean and any harsh chemicals.
Delicate crystals like Amber, Moonstone, Opal, and iron-based meteorites need gentle handling due to potential discolouration or structural risks. These are best as occasion pieces.
Store safely, and clean with care.
Rest assured that our 1-year jewellery warranty covers any manufacturing defects.
