A powerful stone for protection and grounding, this stone is formed of needle-like inclusions of black tourmaline - powerful protection in its own right - imbedded in natural clear quartz - a high energy stone used to increase personal power. This fabulous shield-stone amplifies energy sent towards it. Then, depending on the desired intent of the wearer, this stone can either send that amplified energy back to the sender, much like a mirror spell; or even better, transmute any negativity into positive energy for the wearer. In addition, tourmalinated quartz aids to balance yin/yang energies and release negative patterns.
