Black

Choose by what you need. Black Tourmaline is the classic pick for protection, and Black Obsidian is loved for grounding. Shungite is a popular choice as a figurine for a shelf or desk. Any of the three makes a strong first stone.

Black stones are traditionally used for grounding and protection. People wear them on hard days or keep one by the front door as a reminder to stay steady. Rainbow Obsidian adds a flash of color and is said to ease stress.

Some are tied to luck. The Rainbow Obsidian Lucky Bracelet is named for it. Shungite figures, like the dragon and bear, stand for good fortune. Most black stones, though, are known more for protection.

Black Tourmaline is the traditional first choice, as raw stones, a palm stone, or a wrapped necklace. Black Obsidian is another classic. The Black Obsidian Crystal Protection Pyramid sits well on a desk.
