Overview
Black Tourmaline is known as a stone that banishes negativity and low vibrational energy. Black tourmaline benefits include healing the root chakra, and helping to destroy negative thoughts. It helps balance your root chakra, the base of your energy centers. This is where all of your stability and confidence comes from. You need a healthy root chakra for the rest to blossom, another reason why Black Tourmaline is suggested so much as a crystal for beginners.
