The practice
Where to keep black tourmaline
-
At the door
A raw stone, a tree or a hanging by the entrance, where the outside world comes in.
-
On the wrist
Wear the bracelet for crowds, travel or difficult meetings, and take it off when you are home.
-
In a pair
Hang it with selenite, lightness beside weight. Wipe it with a dry cloth now and then, as dust settles in the ridges.

Questions
Asked often
What is black tourmaline traditionally used for?
In crystal traditions it is often chosen for protection, grounding and steadiness in busy places. We share this as tradition, not as a medical claim.
Where should I place black tourmaline?
By the front door, on a work desk or in a room shared by many people. Choose a place you pass every day.
Can I wear it every day?
Yes, though many people keep it for demanding days: travel, crowds, long meetings. Take it off before bathing.
Is black tourmaline the same as black obsidian?
No. Tourmaline is a ridged crystal; obsidian is smooth volcanic glass. Both are dark and grounding, and they sit together on our Triple Protection Bracelet.
