I believe these are Black Tourmaline Ruler specimens from I do not know where possibly India. They are not “cleaned” in chemicals and so a coating of the mica and albite is present all over them. We had only seen polished versions so we are excited at having raw crystals. Each has a natural “end that allow it to stand upright. That allows it to be a piece that adds height to a collection of crystals. Or lay it flat. It is a lot stronger (less breakable) tourmaline than Brazilian so works well if placed at the door to keep out bad energies.
I intuit this crystal for many people – especially those who are sensitive energetically (empaths) and want protection from other people’s energies “coming at them”. This size would be great for a room like the hallway in front of a front door with a lot of “negative” people walking outside. Or in your office if again you interact with a lot of people with different levels of consciousness. Read more about it on the Healing tab.
For the many who ask …. it is NOT petrified wood! Dimensions are for the bottom crystal, but the weights are correct for each. They show a dusting of albite.
These robust black tourmaline rulers would work well in an area where a lot of people may be touching it.
