Where does black tourmaline stone come from?
Normally black tourmaline crystals can be found in countries like Africa, Pakistan, Brazil, and the United States but also many other places all around the world. Even though black tourmaline was known for many decades before, its popularity grew during the 18th century. The reason for that was because during that time scientists found out that it is possible to charge tourmaline with positive energies. However, even before that, our ancestors knew that black tourmaline has the ability to protect, therefore it always took a big part in rituals and ceremonies at the time.

How to identify black tourmaline stone?
It is pretty easy to identify black tourmaline stone because of its specific structure, color, and texture.
First of all, when taking a look at the black tourmaline, place it near the bright light to see if it’s not a green tourmaline because black tourmaline will not change its color. Also, take a look at the texture of the stone; it has to be chunky with visible striations all over its surface.
These stones are formed in the wet environment and they most often will have some inclusions.
However, if in doubt, it is always best to examine your stone with a scratch test. Simply scratch your stone with a needle and you will know if it’s a real crystal stone because there shouldn’t be any scratches on the real material as it would appear on a plastic or glass but not tourmaline.
