Crystal type: Tourmaline black/Schorl

This is a mysterious stone that you have to be careful with. It attracts the souls of the deceased. In South West Africa there are huge deserts strewn with natural black tourmalines. The natives have great respect for this stone. Healers and voodoo priests use it to summon the dead. The spirits of the dead rest in these stones. For this reason, black tourmaline should never be used in energy pyramids. Neither do metal parts or toxic objects belong in the energy pyramids. Using occupied stones as the axis of an energy pyramid could have unpleasant consequences. The affinity of the dead to black tourmaline is very clear. It should only be used very carefully. Never hang black tourmalines on your neck or body, you don’t know what’s inside! Similarly, many spirits of the deceased wander to the rings of Saturn and rest there in the crystals, stones and chunks of ice. Latent life awaits rebirth there. Black tourmaline is therefore suitable for speaking with the dead, but not for improving the world. Use it sparingly, if at all! Planet Saturn, 8, Tarot 13, death and 16, the tower, collapse.
