Black Tourmaline Palm Stone 107 GM

Overview
The Black Tourmaline Palm Stone is a smooth, polished crystal known for its deep black colour, dense grounding energy, and naturally striated texture. Widely regarded as one of the most protective stones in crystal traditions, Black Tourmaline is valued for its ability to promote stability, energetic balance, and a strong sense of grounding.

Designed to rest comfortably in the hand, palm stones—also called worry stones—are commonly used in mindfulness and relaxation practices. Holding and gently rubbing the stone can help calm anxious thoughts, reduce mental overwhelm, and encourage a feeling of steadiness and presence during stressful moments.

Weighing approximately 107 grams, this palm stone has a solid, reassuring feel that makes it ideal for meditation, grounding work, and everyday emotional support.

Geological Origin & Composition
Black Tourmaline, also known as Schorl, is a complex boron silicate mineral formed within igneous and metamorphic environments under intense geological conditions.

It is recognised for its naturally ridged or striated structure and is one of the most electrically responsive minerals found in nature, displaying pyroelectric and piezoelectric properties—meaning it can generate a small electrical charge under pressure or temperature change.

Major sources include Brazil, Pakistan, Africa, Madagascar, and Afghanistan.
