Your personal energy shield. Black tourmaline is revered across cultures as the ultimate grounding and protection stone — absorbing negative energy, electromagnetic smog, and environmental stress before they reach your field.
Sourced from certified ethical mines in Brazil. Our black tourmaline is hand-mined by small-scale artisanal miners who receive fair wages and work in safe conditions. No child labor, no exploitative practices.
Note: Raw black tourmaline has a naturally matte finish with possible rough edges — this is not a polished stone. Handle with care to avoid chipping.

Water is fine for most stones, but skip salt water and ultrasonic cleaners. Prolonged direct sun can fade some colours — amethyst, rose quartz and fluorite are the ones to watch — so do not leave it on a sunlit windowsill for weeks at a time.
Dust with a soft dry brush or cloth. Avoid household cleaners, and do not soak a specimen with soft inclusions. Store it where it will not knock against harder stones. See our crystal care guide.
