Also known as Schorl, this genuine Tourmaline was lovingly hand dug from the earth by ourselves from Ontario, Canada. It has been mildly tumbled for polishing, because we were terrified to loose the natural inclusions of Silicate and Quartz.

The inclusion of the special mineral Silicate, helps to ease the strain you might experience when dealing with certain traumas, helping you to open up to confiding in your loved ones. Gem Silica is known to calm your emotional body in stressful times, giving you the ability to maintain a sense of clarity when trying to reach resolution. Quartz is the "Universal Crystal" because of it's many uses and beneficial properties, such as balance, harmonizing and stabilization of your environment.

Black Tourmaline blocks electromagnetic waves (EMF) like the ones caused by cell phones, laptops, televisions and other electronics that we surround ourselves with.
