But it does not absorb it... but will transmute... or convert the negative energy into positive energy.

Wearing This Black Stone

Black Tourmaline Pendant Keeping a piece of this stone on you at all times is highly recommended. Although Black Tourmaline jewelry is not as common as the other colors of Tourmaline... it is possible to buy very nice pendants made from the stone.

One of the reason it is not so common, is because much of this stone is not stable enough to cut into cabochons... but the Australian stone is highly stable.

Lovely Black Tourmaline pendants can be bought... including nice pieces made from Australian stone... or pendants that are rough stones set in silver or even beads. Whatever type you buy, wearing it is very beneficial.

The solid and stable stone from the Flinders Ranges in Australia, can be cut into lovely checker cut pieces... like the one in the photo... and they make beautiful pendants.

As jewelry made from these black stones is becoming available, these powerful black stones are now on the Zodiac Birthstones list. They are also a Capricorn birthstone so you may find lovely Birthstone jewelry containing this stone.

I know that there are stones that send back the negative energy... but this stone will not do that. Even though some people believe Black Tourmaline will do that... instead it changes it to positive energy.

Some time ago, scientists came out in the media discussing the issues around the vibrations emanating from electrical devices and cell phones.

The discussion centered around the negative effect on your body's electrical system, that these emit.

Adding some Black Tourmaline crystals to the bedroom will aid you to regulate your body's electrical system.

If you do a lot of spiritual work, or have strong psychic powers and you use these abilities quite a lot... you may become ungrounded. Black Tourmaline will also ground you quite quickly.
