Black Tourmaline Crystal

"As a protective stone against "spells" which are cast by the negative side of another, black tourmaline is a special stone to Native American Indians; black tourmaline in quartz not only dispels the "spell" but energizes the "victim" and actually increases well-being. African shaman  have used the tourmaline to promote the awakening from the "dream of illusion" and to promote the experience of the self as part of the universal spirit."
