Hey loves! Rain here 🌙 and today we’re talking all things Black Tourmaline — one of my absolute fave crystals for staying grounded, protected, and balanced. Whether you’re brand new to crystals or already deep in your spiritual journey, Black Tourmaline is one of those stones that everyone can benefit from. It’s powerful, practical, and a total game-changer when it comes to energy.
Let’s get into it…
So, what does Black Tourmaline actually do?
If you’re looking for a crystal that keeps you feeling steady and safe, this is the one. Black Tourmaline is known for its super grounding energy — it’s like an energetic anchor that helps you stay connected to the Earth when everything around you feels chaotic.
It’s also amazing for:
-
Blocking negative vibes (from people, places, even your own thoughts)
-
Absorbing EMFs from phones, laptops, and WiFi
-
Cleansing your aura
-
Calming anxiety and overthinking
I always say this crystal is like a personal bodyguard — silent, strong, and always looking out for you.
Want to carry that protection with you everywhere? I’m obsessed with the Maxi Black Tourmaline Vogel Pendant — it’s seriously powerful and absolutely stunning. ✨
Which chakra is Black Tourmaline linked to?
Black Tourmaline connects deeply with the Root Chakra — that energy centre at the base of your spine that keeps you grounded, safe, and secure.
When your root chakra is in balance, you feel more present, calm, and in control. When it’s out of whack, life can feel a bit unstable. So if you’ve been feeling scattered, anxious, or disconnected, this crystal helps pull your energy back down and re-centres you.
Where is Black Tourmaline found?
This beautiful stone is actually found all over the world. Some of the best pieces come from:
-
Brazil
-
Namibia
-
Pakistan
-
Afghanistan
-
The US (especially California and Maine)
Each region gives the crystal a slightly different vibe, but they all carry that same protective, earthy energy we love.
Can Black Tourmaline go in water?
This one comes up all the time — and the short answer is: not really.
Black Tourmaline has a decent hardness on the Mohs scale (around 7 to 7.5), but it can still be damaged if you leave it soaking in water too long. It might crack, fade, or just start to feel a little off.
If you want to cleanse it, try:
-
A quick rinse (but dry it straight after)
-
Smoke cleansing with incense or sage
-
Leaving it under the full moon
-
Placing it on Selenite or Quartz
Much safer, and it keeps the energy nice and clear.
How is Black Tourmaline formed?
Mother Nature really outdid herself with this one. 💫
Black Tourmaline forms deep underground, mostly in igneous and metamorphic rocks, where heat, pressure, and mineral-rich fluids come together. The dark colour comes from its high iron content, which is why it feels so heavy and grounding.
Honestly, it’s no surprise this crystal is such a powerhouse — it’s been through some serious Earth energy before making its way to you.
Who should wear Black Tourmaline?
Honestly? Everyone.
It’s especially good for:
-
Empaths and sensitive souls
-
Anyone feeling overwhelmed or energetically drained
-
People working in high-stress environments
-
Those doing inner healing or shadow work
-
Anyone glued to their phone or laptop all day (yep, it helps with tech stress too)
And if you're looking for something with similar protective energy but a slightly different vibe, check out our Black Tourmaline Crystal Power Necklace — perfect for stylish spiritual babes who want those grounding vibes in a more luxe finish.
Where (and how) should I wear it?
This part’s totally personal, but here are a few of my fave ways:
-
Necklace – great for daily wear and general energetic protection (and hello, the Maxi Black Tourmaline Vogel Pendant is made for this!)
-
Bracelet – keeps it close to your pulse and helps with emotional stability
-
In your pocket or bag – especially when travelling or heading into busy places
-
In your bra – yep, crystal babes know the drill!
-
Ring – wear it on your left hand to receive its energy
You can also keep a piece near your front door, on your desk, or even under your pillow for protection while you sleep. Wherever it feels good, it belongs.
Honestly, if there’s one crystal I’d recommend to everyone — especially in this mad world — it’s Black Tourmaline. It helps you stay grounded, keeps the bad vibes at bay, and reminds you to protect your peace above all else. 🖤
Stay protected and sparkly,
Love always,
Rain 🌧️✨
