Black Tourmaline Quartz Tumbled Crystal

At Namaste Bookshop you will find this tumbled stone, Black Tourmaline Quartz Tumbled Crystal.

Black tourmaline, or schorl, is an iron-rich tourmaline, typically opaque and striated. In crystal traditions, it is associated with protection and grounding. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Tumbled stones are polished in a drum, which softens sharp edges and brings out color. Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.

You can see this one in person at Namaste Bookshop, 2 West 14th Street near Union Square in New York City, or order it online.
