What Are Tourmaline Stones?

Tourmaline is a crystal Silicate mineral. Its grounding, protector, and lucky properties make it a necessity for all crystal collectors and healers. This versatile stone is available in a wide variety of colors with different correspondences. According to ancient legends, Tourmaline has so many different hues because it traveled along the rainbow. One of the most popular varieties is Black Tourmaline, also known as Schorl. This stone energizes and grounds you while deflecting negative energy.

Green and Pink Tourmaline nourish your heart, promoting love and compassion in subtly different ways. Red Tourmaline increases your confidence, creativity, and energy. Brown Tourmaline, also known as Dravite, usually forms in a cylindrical shape, making it resemble root beer barrel candy. This stone cleanses and protects your aura while providing a strong connection to the Earth. Blue Tourmaline corresponds to communication and emotional wellbeing.

Blue Tourmaline is also tied to the element of Water and treats issues linked to water: too much, too little, and imbalances.

Red Tourmaline balances aggressive energy and is effective for anger management.

Black Tourmaline is the best crystal to have for electromagnetic radiation, due to its reflective and protective qualities. Everyone, especially people whose professions work with a lot of technology, can benefit from its use.

Black Tourmaline has psychic protection qualities. It can protect you from harm and dispel negative entities. In ancient times, this gemstone was believed to ward off demons and other dark or destructive forces. In the modern world, we recognize these “dark forces” as psychic attacks (the negative intentions and ill-wishes of others) and impurities in air, mind, and thoughts. Ultimately, Black Tourmaline is a psychic shield. Because it dispels negative energy, Black Tourmaline also encourages happiness and good luck.

Tourmaline occurs naturally in combinations with other stones, creating unique metaphysical benefits. Black Tourmaline combined with Mica acts as a psychic boomerang, returning negative energy to its sender, and also protects from electromagnetic smog. Many varieties of Tourmaline can be found as chunky rods suspended in Quartz. Quartz is a universal healing stone that charges and amplifies other crystals’ energies. It serves as a loudspeaker for Tourmaline’s abilities.

How To Use Tourmaline Crystals

Tourmaline should be cleansed and charged like with most gemstones. It can be used for balance, understanding, tolerance, compassion and self-acceptance. It also fosters inner strength and spiritual maturity. Tourmaline can be kept on a shrine or altar and carried around for protection.

Keep Green Tourmaline under your pillow or on your nightstand to promote restful sleep. These calming properties make this stone helpful for hyperactive children. Green Tourmaline’s nurturing Earth energy also helps plants grow; store it in your garden or by houseplants to nourish them. If you have problems managing your anger, wear or carry Red Tourmaline, particularly when you are entering a stressful situation.

Keep a piece of Black Tourmaline on each side of your front door, and when people walk through, they will be energetically cleansed. Combine Black Tourmaline in a grid with Selenite to clear and revitalize your space while boosting both stones’ protective energies. Wear Black Tourmaline to bring its protective properties with you.

Tourmaline should be cleared. Because of Tourmaline’s strong connection to the Earth, particularly in its Brown, Green, and Black varieties, Earth-based cleansing methods like burying in soil, surrounding with salt, or placing in a bowl with herbs like sandalwood or sage are particularly effective. Blue Tourmaline has strong Water energy, so you can clear it by running it under a natural water source. Check out our blog for more clearing techniques!
