Black Tourmaline is a grounding stone. It meets the earth’s energies, allowing it to enhance the grounding that contact with the earth creates. It also allows a measure of protection against negative energies. It is associated with the base Chakra so that its presence tends to help achieve a balance throughout the body’s energy centers. There will be slight natural variations in the shape and size as this is a natural rough cut stone. Earrings come on beautiful legend cards outlining the metaphysical properties of the stone.
