It can be cleansed with running water, though brief exposure is preferred for raw specimens to avoid any surface weathering over time.

Polished pieces are smoother and more refined, better suited for carrying or display.

Mid-range pieces (60 to 200g) work well on desks or nightstands.

It absorbs and transmutes a lot of energy. Cleanse it regularly using earth, sound, or Selenite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Black Tourmaline?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Tourmaline, known mineralogically as Schorl, is one of the most abundant members of the tourmaline group and one of the most widely used protective stones in crystal practice. It forms in granites and metamorphic rocks, often in long prismatic crystals with distinctive vertical striations along the surface. Its deep black color comes from high iron content. Metaphysically, it's been used for centuries as a shield against negative energy, psychic attack, and environmental stress. It's one of the few stones that's recommended for beginners and advanced practitioners alike, because its energy is direct, reliable, and easy to work with.
