tourmaline is a powerful stone that comes in a rainbow of colours. while black tourmaline is particularly renowned for its protection properties, this semi-precious gem helps to reduce fear and promote self-confidence across the board. it's said to balance the opposite sides of the brain and act as a bridge to connect the physical and spiritual worlds. try holding a stone in the palm of your hand to test out those balancing energies for yourself!
