Over the last few years many people have been concerned over the increase in electromagnetic waves especially ones caused by mobile phones, laptops, televisions etc. This has caused an increased in interest in natural options to block or absorb this energy. Having Black Tourmaline on or around you while using electronics for an extended is believed to reduce their residual effects. I have managed to source a wide range of Black Tourmaline products to enable your to have the most accessible Black Tourmaline medium. Hence, our unusual Black Tourmaline on stands which elevates the stone to act like an aerial receiving energy.
Black Tourmaline was originally called the unromantic name of Schorl after the German village where they mined tin and the stone. Not only did the stone change its name to Tourmaline (from the Sinhalese word tormalli) but the town also changed its name to Zschorlau.
Tourmaline, particularly black tourmaline is very abundant and found throughout the world and is created through volcanic magma flows which then crystallise to from the gemstone. An unusual feature of the stone is that it has magnetic properties and can hold an electrical charge due to large quantities of iron and manganese. Tourmalines of all colours can be electrically charged by rubbing your fingers on each end which will attract air particles.
Black tourmaline is one of the most powerful grounding stones that you can use to activate the Root Chakra.
Tourmaline comes in many different colours and the Ancient Egyptians believed this was because the stone travelled across rainbows, picking up its colours from each band
