Schorl belongs to the complex tourmaline group and is deep black in color due to its characteristic iron- and manganese-rich composition. The prismatic, often longitudinally striated crystals frequently grow in granitic and pegmatitic host rocks – it is precisely this natural interplay that makes each specimen an unrepeatable geological record.

Symbolism and Energetic Meaning in Crystal Healing

In crystal healing, black schorl tourmaline is traditionally regarded as one of the strongest protective stones of all.
