Black tourmaline is a dark, opaque crystal, the iron-rich variety of tourmaline known as schorl, treasured in crystal healing as a stone of protection that grounds the body and shields the energy field.
Why It Matters
Seekers carry black tourmaline or place it near doorways to guard their space and release heavy or borrowed energy. It is closely tied to the root chakra, which makes it a favorite for grounding during seasons of rapid growth. At NLS we approach crystals as allies for the inner work, never as a replacement for it.
