Tourmalated Quartz is a type of Quartz that contains inclusions of Black Tourmaline. It is a stone for grounding, protection, and balance. These properties interweave together to keep you present while protecting you from any negativity in your environment. The stone’s grounding properties are a great tool for empaths. If you tend to absorb other people’s emotions, Tourmalated Quartz can help balance your natural empathy. By soaking up negative energies, it can help you feel less overwhelmed. It also can cleanse and purify the aura, help you break through blockages and aid in spiritual growth.
