Black tourmaline is the one to reach for on days when you have been absorbing everyone else's mood and carried it home without meaning to.
The pyramid shape gives it a job. It sits flat, it stays where you put it, and it holds a corner of a room instead of rattling around in a pocket. People use it as a marker: this desk, this doorway, this spot is mine.
Set it where the noise comes in. The corner of a desk where the hard calls happen, a windowsill, an entry table, the nightstand in a room that has been holding too much tension lately. Touch the point before a conversation you are dreading and name what you are not going to pick up today.
Opaque black schorl with the fine vertical striations tourmaline is known for, cut and polished into a four-sided pyramid on a flat square base. Around 180 grams, heavy enough in the hand to feel like a decision. Polish and depth of black vary piece to piece.
You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. Put it down somewhere that needs holding, and leave it there.
Quick facts
- Material: Black tourmaline (schorl), cut and polished. Origin not confirmed by our supplier, so we do not claim one.
- Sizes: One size, about .18kg (180g). Base is roughly the width of a credit card, short enough to sit comfortably on a shelf or desk corner.
- Best for: Grounding after a draining day, boundary work, desks where difficult conversations happen, entryways and thresholds.
- Pairs well with: Smoky quartz for settling the body, hematite for weight in the hand, selenite for clearing the space around it.
- Care: Hard enough for daily handling, but the tip and base edges can chip if it is dropped on tile. Dust with a dry cloth. A quick rinse is fine.
