The name Schorl was in use prior to 1400AD after a village in Saxony, Germany which had a nearby tin mine where black Tourmaline was found. Believed to bring together the properties of Quartz and Tourmaline creating an effective grounding stone which strengthens the body’s energy field. Turns negative thoughts into positive ones.
