Tumbled: Black Tourmaline

Black Tourmaline is a shamanic stone, providing protection during ritual work and to indicate a good direction in which to move. It is an excellent grounding crystal for meditation, healing, and repelling negative energy.  It also soothes panic attacks, especially those caused by dark or confined spaces. Protects against moaners, whiners, complaining neighbors or emotional vampires who burden you with their problems but do nothing to improve their situations.
