Black Tourmaline Crystal

Ethically mined African Black Tourmaline

A good-sized semi-polished natural Black Tourmaline crystal.

Black Tourmaline is the first choice for protection from "ElectroSmog", the electromagnetic fields (EMFs) we are constantly bombarded with.

The flat base makes it perfect to put in front of electrical devices or in rooms to help shield us from the many frequencies we are constantly bombarded with... mobile phone towers, routers, TV signals, computers, radio waves and smart meters to name a few.

Black Tourmaline's unique and proven electrical properties make it extremely useful:

Piezoelectricity: When subjected to mechanical stress or pressure, black tourmaline generates an electric charge. This property arises from the asymmetry in its crystal structure. The crystal lattice is deformed when pressure is applied, leading to the separation of positive and negative charges within the crystal, resulting in an electric potential.

Pyroelectricity: Black tourmaline also exhibits pyroelectric properties, meaning it generates an electric charge in response to changes in temperature. As the temperature of the tourmaline crystal changes, the positions of positive and negative charges within the crystal lattice also change, creating an electric potential.

Electrostatic Charging: Black tourmaline can become charged when rubbed or heated, making it attract and hold onto small particles. This property has led to its use in certain industrial processes and experiments.

Energy Protection and Grounding: In metaphysical and alternative healing practices, black tourmaline is understood to have protective properties. It is often used as a grounding stone that helps to dispel and shield against EMFs.

Ionizing Radiation Absorption: Tourmaline crystals have been studied for their ability to absorb and emit far-infrared radiation. This property has led to research on potential applications in medical and technological fields, such as radiation shielding.

"Tourmaline and its inherent electrical emanations have been revered throughout the life of the planet. It can be used to attract inspiration and diminish fear by promoting understanding and encouraging self-confidence. It provides a balancing of the mind, the energy centres and the auric body. As a protective stone against "spells" cast by the negative side of another, black tourmaline is a special stone to Native American Indians and African shamans." Melody, Love is in the Earth.
