Do you Need to Charge Black Tourmaline?
Black tourmaline can absorb negative energy. While this is beneficial for those around the stone, it can turn its positive energy to negative energy after a while.
Although this stone can push away or deflect negativity, it still requires the use of its energy to provide a protective shield.
Black tourmaline will eventually run out of energy and will need to be recharged like a battery. This means your black tourmaline crystal has been used and it has no energy.
It may not have only run out of energy, but it may have also absorbed bad energy. It is, therefore, necessary to cleanse the Black Tourmaline and then charge it.
How do You Recharge Black Tourmaline?
When you start using Black Tourmaline, we recommend using only the proven methods of charging first.
There are several ancient methods that have sprung up because of our native culture's beliefs. However, it is smart to always use best practices first. Here are some ways to charge your black tourmaline stone.
Sunlight
Sunlight helps break down negative energy. In just half an hour in the sun, no crystal will discolor or be damaged.
This method can be used to charge and cleanse black tourmaline. It is the simplest and cheapest method to use to charge black tourmaline. Simply place your stone on a windowsill or outside according to your preference. Do not expose black tourmaline to the sun for more than half an hour.
Reiki
The energy of Reiki will charge a cleansed Black Tourmaline. Place the stone on a table, place your hand on top and send Reiki into the Black Tourmaline to recharge the energy. The stone will be filled with universal energy. You can first charge your Black Tourmaline in the sun and Reiki them for good measure.
Moonlight
Put your Black Tourmaline in the light of the full moon and it will be charged. Note that the effect of the moon on the Earth is magnetic. The moonlight is so weak that it can’t charge a crystal. However, many people believe it does, although there isn’t any evidence to support it.
Running Water
You can wash your Black Tourmaline under running water, preferably fresh water from a waterfall, river, or stream, but it's also good under a tap.
This method does not necessarily clean the Black Tourmaline energetically and does not remove negative energy, but physically cleans it. If the crystal has lower vibration, running water can cleanse and charge it.
Earth
If you bury a black tourmaline in the ground for a few days or weeks, this will ensure that all of the negative energy flows from the crystal into the ground. Then we say that the earth has charged the black tourmaline again.

Often, crystals travel long distances from the source to the seller before it gets to the buyer. Each transition tends to expose the stone to energies that may not match yours.
And when black tourmaline is used to heal, it redirects or absorbs the negativity that you are working to release.
Regular cleansing and recharging of your stone is the only way to restore your black tourmaline to its natural state. When we take care of our crystals, we take care of ourselves.
We allow the energy that is not in harmony with our lives and our intentions to go in a peaceful and healing way. By taking these small steps, we can become more aware of our interaction with ourselves, with the stone, and with others.

What Chakra is Black Tourmaline Good for?
Black tourmaline is sometimes associated with the root chakra, which controls our stability, security, and basic needs, as well as all organs and parts of the body near the base of the spine. Less frequently talked about, Black tourmaline is also associated with the Earth star chakra.
The chakra is only 6-inches below the soles of the feet. The Earth Star Charka is the chakra of connection to earth and unity. It is the anchor point of the entire chakra system, and with black tourmaline you can have special grounding abilities.
Black tourmaline has a vibration closely aligned with the base or root chakra. When you first hold a piece of this protective stone, you may feel a strong connection to the earth. It is not uncommon for this sensation to be so noticeable that for a moment you feel that your feet are glued to the ground.
Since black tourmaline is such an effective protective stone, it is also compatible with the rest of the chakras. It works to transform, purify, and disperse all negative energies and unwanted entities that can affect your aura.
By doing so, it also energize the Life Force energy that flows through our chakra system and brings new power to each center one after the other. You need the energizing effects of Black Tourmaline if you frequently feel lethargic, irritable, or exhausted.
On a psychological and spiritual level, the use of black tourmaline in meditation will help you discover truths from your past that can affect your current quality of life.
Can Black Tourmaline go in Water?
Black tourmaline can be placed in water for cleansing. It’s a hard protective stone, around 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, and won’t be damaged by light contact with water.
However, prolonged contact with water or contact with mineral water can damage the stone. The best way to use tourmaline in water is to wash it off under running water for about two minutes and let it dry on a flat surface.
Water is a great element to use with black tourmaline and they improve the energy of each other very well. Black Tourmaline charges your water and the water cleanses and balances your gemstone. We like to see them as Yin and Yang energies that work together perfectly.
Using black tourmaline with water is particularly helpful if you are an empath and you are using the stone to protect your energy field from hypersensitivity or empathy. This is because water assists with emotional flow and structures the energy in the tourmaline to specifically aid in managing emotions.
Using black tourmaline with water is helpful when you are in a bad mood and your black tourmaline isn’t helping you lift up. A highly vibrating black tourmaline stone helps stimulate a bitter mood, particularly right after cleansing with water.
Black tourmaline works great with deva entities that are attracted to plant energy, so an excellent way to use the power of these energies is to water your plants with water used to clean your black tourmaline.
Simply fill a container with filtered water, place your tourmaline gemstones in the container for 1 to 4 hours, remove the gemstones, and water your plants with the water. You can also spray your plants with water from a spray bottle.
Will Black Tourmaline Dissolve in Water?
Tourmaline won’t dissolve completely in water like selenite. It isn’t a soft gemstone and is made up of minerals that can withstand contact with water for billions of years.
However, some components of tourmaline can be damaged by prolonged contact with water.
Some users have reported that their Black Tourmaline chipped or cracked after being soaked in water for too long. Rain or salt water is particularly harmful to the black tourmaline if it remains in contact with it for a long period of time. With this in mind, we don't recommend leaving your black tourmaline outside or cleansing it off with salt water.
Can Black Tourmaline Go in Salt Water?
As mentioned earlier, salt water, mineralized water, and spring water can be very harmful.
All of these types of water contain sodium which can lead to irreversible damage to your black tourmaline stone. The damage can be seen as the stone becomes brittle and any strong, sudden contact with a hard surface can break the gemstone into smaller pieces.
In addition, rainwater is also loaded with certain electrolytes, such as sodium, which can damage the Black Tourmaline. Therefore, avoid cleansing your black tourmaline with rainwater by placing it outdoors or in a location where it’s in direct contact with rainwater.
Black tourmaline is a great stone to calm your mind and protect your place and spirit. It is not for nothing that it is an indispensable tool in the arsenals of countless energy professionals around the world. C
leansing Black Tourmaline is a key action to rid the stone of absorbed negative energies and restore it to its raw natural healing powers of purification, grounding, and protection.
