Absolutely, Spiritlite! I've sometimes been under stresses or overdone mental work and found myself tumbling around in the ether lost and dizzy. Grab the black tourmaline and down to earth I've come again - gently and the right way up

I also have to face some pretty horrible characters in my work which, before I used to carry the black tourmaline, could to get through to me. I don't know: I'd come away feeling "soiled", or I would have picked up their angers or nastiness... But never has that happened, not once, since buying my lovely black tourmaline shorl.

It also lifts me. If I get up feeling heavy or low, I carry it because it really does impart light to its bearer. I believe it's more powerful at uplifting and lightening than even the wonderful citrine or carnelian.

It makes me brave. It gives me the feeling I should "try". It keeps clear the bubble I walk around in, I'm sure. Most recently, it has helped me through a rather searing break up with the man I was emotionally attached to (to the extent that today, only 5 short weeks on, I praise my gods and guides I did split up from him!). I really do seem to get that kind of positivity from the black tourmaline way over any other stone or healing method I've ever tried.

I think that if I could only have one stone, it would be black tourmaline. Followed by the other colours of tourmaline. Hm, yes, I'd be fine with just tourmaline
