Black Tourmaline raw stone

This stone is an ancient shield of obsidian night, wearing jewels of moss and fire to ground the heart! While primarily Black Tourmaline (Schorl) (the dominant black, striated base), it is exceptionally rich in other mineral inclusions. The striking, mossy-green mineral is likely Epidote or a related mineral in the Clinozoisite group, which often forms alongside tourmaline. The small, distinct, reddish-orange cluster appears to be Spessartite Garnet or perhaps a form of Ruby in the matrix. This combination makes it a powerful "grounding and heart-healing" stone. This stone blends the intense protective and grounding properties of Black Tourmaline with the heart-healing, abundance-attracting qualities of Epidote, and the vitalizing, creative energy of Garnet/Ruby. Black Tourmaline provides a powerful energetic shield against negativity, psychic attack, and geopathic stress, while grounding you firmly to the earth (Root Chakra). Epidote is a "stone of attraction and manifestation." It is believed to clear emotional blockages, open the heart to love and compassion, and attract abundance and prosperity by helping you recognize your self-worth. The reddish inclusions (Garnet or Ruby) add a boost of life-force energy, courage, passion, and creativity. They help to stimulate the Sacral and Base chakras. Place this large raw piece near the front door of your home or office. Its protective field will filter incoming energy, while the epidote will help create a welcoming and abundant atmosphere. Holding or gazing at the stone during meditation can help you remain "rooted" (Tourmaline) while exploring emotional truths (Epidote) from a place of strength (Garnet).
