Black Tourmaline soothes panic attacks; especially those caused by dark or confined spaces, or in places where the atmosphere is frightening. It also helps control the fear of doctors or dentists.
Wear this crystal for protection against moaners, whiners, complaining neighbors, or emotional vampires who burden you with their problems but do nothing to improve their situations.
In the workplace, hold Black Tourmaline for a few minutes when you need to wake up your mind or when you need full concentration. It provides an excellent shield against environmental pollutants, electromagnetic smog, and radiation associated with cell phones, computers, and other electronic equipment. It is a professional support stone for miners and telephone workers.
In industry, Tourmalines are highly valued as electrical tuning circuits for conducting television and radio frequencies. They are used for their durability since high frequencies can be passed through them without shattering, as many crystals do.
