A good-sized semi-polished natural Black Tourmaline crystal. You will receive the crystal pictured.
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 for placing in front of electrical devices or in rooms to help shield us from the numerous frequencies we are constantly bombarded with, including 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 recognised for its protective properties. It is often used as a grounding stone to help dispel and shield against EMFs.
Ionising 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.
