Black tourmaline is a black boron silicate mineral (schorl) traditionally associated with protection and grounding. This pendant features a natural raw black tourmaline stone in an adjustable gold- or silver-toned setting, ready to wear straight out of the box, with the deep black color and lengthwise striations the crystal is known for.

Quick facts

Meaning & history

In crystal tradition, black tourmaline is one of the most valued protective stones — associated with grounding, energetic shielding, and a calm, steady sense of security. Many people wear it daily to feel anchored and protected from draining or negative energy, and it's often linked to the Root chakra.

How to wear it

Wear it as everyday protective jewelry, layer it with other pieces, or keep it on during stressful days. Because each stone is natural raw tourmaline, size, shape, and surface vary from piece to piece — yours will be unique and may differ a bit from the photo.

Care & cleansing

Black tourmaline is naturally durable (Mohs 7–7.5), but its included, striated surface can still dull or pit with heavy chemical exposure or long soaking. Wipe it clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, and give it only a brief rinse under lukewarm water if needed — skip prolonged soaking and skip salt (dry or saltwater) cleansing, which can damage the surface over time. Keep it away from direct sun for long periods and store it apart from harder stones that could scratch it.

Because this piece is set in metal, remove it before showering, swimming, or exercising to protect the band and the polish of the metal finish.
