Black tourmaline-schorl

        Sometimes we are in situations that make us feel drained, edgy or unsafe. There are many stones and crystals that have protective qualities. The most powerful of these is the Black Tourmaline. This bad boy is the mineral worlds body guard, taking negative energy and reflecting it away, often back to its source. It strengthens, grounds and increases energy as well. Pieces are inexpensive and easy to acquire. This photo is my home specimen. 😀
