Holistic Healing:
Traditionally associated with protection, clear thinking and setting down what weighs on you. In crystal lore the quartz is said to lift and the black tourmaline to ground, which makes the pair a steadying one.
 
Metaphysical Traditions:
Regarded in tradition as a shielding stone, the tourmaline turning away what is unwanted while the quartz amplifies what is left.
 
Cool Facts:
The black needles are schorl, a tourmaline that grew first; the quartz crystallised around it and froze the needles in place.
Tourmaline is pyroelectric – warm it and it builds a static charge, which is why Dutch traders called it aschentrekker, the ash-puller.
Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust, after feldspar.
