The top is worked to a glossy finish while the sides are left in their natural rough state, and the base carries a black felt pad so the Black Tourmaline Standing Freeform rests on a desk or shelf without marking the surface. The stone is a dense, opaque black, showing the faint lengthwise striations characteristic of Schorl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Tourmaline is widely regarded as a leading protective and grounding stone, often positioned by an entrance, on a work surface or beside the bed, and frequently kept near electronics. It is also drawn on for a calming, steadying influence through stressful stretches. In an upright freeform, the stone stays visible and present in a space rather than tucked out of sight, which is much of the appeal of this form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this is a natural stone sold by weight, every Black Tourmaline Standing Freeform differs in height, outline and surface texture, and the images stand in for the range you can expect from the lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Calm \u0026amp; Stress Relief\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Root\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Capricorn, Scorpio\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rat, Ox\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Saturn\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 7-7.5\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Cyclosilicate\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Black Tourmaline (Schorl)\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Brazil, USA, Africa, Pakistan, Afghanistan\u003cbr\u003eForm: Freeform\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Top polished, natural sides\u003cbr\u003eBase: Black felt base\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 42-62 mm (1.6-2.4 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: 207-352 g\u003cbr\u003eListing: Sold by weight, minimum 1 kg (2.2 lb); approximately 2 to 4 pieces per kilogram\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBlack Tourmaline is the mineral Schorl, an iron sodium borosilicate of the Tourmaline group (Mohs 7-7.5, trigonal system), and the most abundant of the tourmaline varieties. Its black colour comes from a high iron content. Schorl is notable for strong piezoelectric and pyroelectric behaviour: rubbed or heated, it builds an electric charge and attracts fine dust, a demonstrable physical effect that led to its use in scientific instruments from the 18th century onward. Schorl is found globally in granites, pegmatites and metamorphic rocks, with principal commercial sources including Brazil, the USA, Africa, Pakistan and Afghanistan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
