Black Tourmaline is known to purify negative energy and turn it into positive energy we can use. It is not just negative energy that is transmuted into positive energy but also scattered energy as in the case when one is living in a scattered environment, black tourmaline helps to ground and transmute that energy as well.

Metaphysically black tourmaline is helpful for healers to not take on their clients energies, placing a protective shield around the user.

Black tourmaline is one of the best grounding stones because it helps one to remain in the grounding circuit of the earths electromagnetic field. What that means is as the earth travels through different changes, us humans travel in our own changes and those changes are not always in sync with one another. Black tourmaline will assist one to be grounded in the energy shifts of our planetary changes.
