Schorl (Black Tourmaline)
Schorl, you could say, is the black sheep of its family. In a group of minerals famous for their bright, beautiful colors, this variety of tourmaline couldn’t be more richly, deeply, darkly black. Perhaps this is why so many cultures have credited it through the years with magical protective powers, as if it can absorb and neutralize bad energy in the same way black absorbs all color wavelengths of light. Schorl’s magical reputation is definitely bolstered by coming in such cool-looking crystal forms, from tiny sharp needles to large, deeply striated columns that would be fitting as a set piece on a Dungeons and Dragon’s campaign. If schorl is coming up for you now, is it possible you could use a bit of extra shielding yourself? It certainly couldn’t hurt to do a quick check to see if there are any negative people or places in your vicinity sending out gnarly vibes. If so, you might try some shielding techniques to protect yourself and your loved ones from harm.
