Where Is It From? 

The black variety of Tourmaline has been found in a large number of locations, including Pakistan, Australia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Africa and the United States.

It is also known as Schorl Tourmaline and using this name has now become more common.

While the black variety of Tourmaline is fairly common, some of the other types of tourmaline are not so easy to obtain and may even be called rare stones.

This stone is easy to obtain, and it is definitely worth looking for as they are powerful minerals that are an excellent addition to your collection for reasons explained below.

The name of this mineral is made up of two words, and of course we all understand the Black which relates to its color, but some people have wondered about the word Tourmaline.

Meaning Of Tourmaline

This stone is just one of a group of different colored stones that are a member of the tourmaline family that all have a similar structure, yet the Black Tourmaline meaning is incorrect when you go back to the origin of the word. 

This word came from a regional term in Sri Lanka, based on the Sinhalese word 'turmali', that referred to yellow Zircon. 

This name has since changed a little to the current word Tourmaline.

The use of this name began due to a mistake, when a consignment of stone was sent from Sri Lanka with the label Turmalin.

For some reason they liked the name and began to use it and it stuck.

The structure and look of natural pieces of tourmaline are the same, regardless of the color.

This relates to the presence of vertical striations, ridges or furrows on the stones, and this is one way to identify Black Tourmaline in the natural form.

Although it is known as the black variety of tourmaline, not all of the black stones are black, but are a very dark blue color, although it is hard to tell the difference.

You can get Schorl Tourmaline tumblestones, but they are hard to differentiate from other black crystals.

So many people prefer the crystals with the ridges or striations that makes them easy to identify.

Cleansing Schorl or Black Tourmaline

There are a number of effective ways to clean them, and you can use any of the methods for cleansing crystals. Just make sure you don't use salt.

If you have it in an environment where there is an influx of electrical energy and EMF's or where there are lots of negative people, it may be beneficial to cleanse it regularly.

Some people have asked me about how to cleanse Black Tourmaline stone.

The safest way to get started is to rinse it under running water both to remove dust and if you think it needs cleansing of negative energy.

Because this black stone transmutes negativity, this may mean that it may not need cleansing to remove negative vibrations.

This may depend on how much negativity the stone is dealing with, and the size of the piece of rock you have.

Cleansing Schorl would be helpful to make sure that the negativity that it is dealing with is not too high for its size and what it is doing to help you.

But there are also a number of other helpful stones that you can combine with this stone to relieve your pain.
