Black Tourmaline

Science & Origin

Black Tourmaline, first classified in 1759 during the 18th century, is a complex Borosilicate mineral containing Iron, Sodium, Aluminum, and Silicon. It crystallizes in the Trigonal system and forms long prismatic striated crystals with a vitreous luster. Its deep black color results from Iron within its lattice. Black Tourmaline’s piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties allow it to generate electrical charge under pressure or heat, making it a powerful energy conductor and transmuter. Its structure embodies balance through polarity and protection through transformation. Black Tourmaline symbolizes purification of dense energy into clarity and peace. It represents resilience through grounded awareness.
