Black tourmaline can be used to both repel & protect against negativity. It acts to protect one from being victimized by the negative energy of another. It has also been used as an energy deflector, being an excellent stone for those with potential for exposure to excessive amounts of radiation. It provides for an increase in ones physical vitality, emotional stability, & intellectual acuity & can maintain ones "spirits" even in conditions which appear to emit the messages of "gloom & doom".  It furthers the awakening of altruism & enhances practicality in creativity. As a protective stone against "spells" which are cast by the negative side of another, it is a special stone to Native American Indians; black tourmaline in quartz not only dispels the "spell", but energizes the "victim" & actually increases well-being; black tourmaline used with mica, returns the "spell" to the originating source & allows one to view the sender of the negative energies.  It is also used to activate grounding between the first chakra & the center of the Earth, providing for further enhancement of ones well-being on the physical plane, & protecting against those in the spirit world &/or those on the physical plane who are not in the "light" & do not understand the love of the universe.  It acts to stimulate the reflex points associated with the lower back. It can be used in the treatment of arthritis, dyslexia, heart dis-ease, anxiety, & disorientation. It can also provide for both the stimulation & the balancing of the adrenal glands.  Vibrates to the numbers 3 & 4.
