History\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarnet\u003c\/strong\u003e and\u003cstrong\u003e Black Tourmaline\u003c\/strong\u003e are both very \u003cstrong\u003epopular stones \u003c\/strong\u003ewith long, storied histories: together in one stone, they represent both the ancient and the modern. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGarnet History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRed Garnet\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the \u003cstrong\u003eoldest gemstones\u003c\/strong\u003e cut by man, and it was very popular with Roman jewellery makers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRed gemstones\u003c\/strong\u003e, usually \u003cstrong\u003eRed Garnets\u003c\/strong\u003e, were historically called\u003cstrong\u003e carbuncles\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name 'Garnet' was derived from the Latin word for seeds, and it is thought Garnet was given this name owing to its deep red colour which is similar in shade to the red seeds of Pomegranates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack Tourmaline History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTourmaline\u003c\/strong\u003e has been present in many cultures worldwide for millennia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShamans of ancient civilisations, including Native American people, used Tourmaline as a \u003cstrong\u003eprotective talisman\u003c\/strong\u003e to ward off negative energy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1700s, Tourmaline was regularly shipped to the Netherlands from Sri Lanka under the name 'turmali' or 'toramalli', a Sinhalese word meaning 'something small from the Earth'. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Turmali' was a broad word used to describe many different stones of varying colours, but was most commonly used to describe Zircon. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEventually, the Dutch realised that this mineral was entirely different to Zircon, and in 1794, it finally was designated as 'Tourmaline', with its name derived from the original Sinhalese. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe popularity of Tourmaline exploded in the 1800s, when famed mineralogist \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Kunz\u003c\/strong\u003e introduced it to jeweller Tiffany and Co, where it became a highly prized commodity. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black variety of Tourrmaline also gained a new name, \u003cstrong\u003eSchorl\u003c\/strong\u003e, after being discovered in tin mines in the German town of the same name (now known as Zschorlau).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGarnet In Black Tourmaline Crystal Healing Properties\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining the potent, energising properties of \u003cstrong\u003eRed Garnet\u003c\/strong\u003e and the grounding, stabilising properties of \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Tourmaline\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGarnet in Black Tourmaline\u003c\/strong\u003e is an all-round mood-lifter, inducing energy and pleasure in its user as well as a sense of peace and calmness. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGarnet Crystal Healing Properties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarnet has a warm, fiery energy much like its warm reddish hues: if you are lacking in motivation and energy, Garnet is said to help lift your mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack Tourmaline Crystal Healing Properties\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibiting a highly cleansing aura, \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Tourmaline\u003c\/strong\u003e is a stone purported to have powerful calming properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Tourmaline is most famous for being a \u003cstrong\u003estone of protection\u003c\/strong\u003e and safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis black semi precious stone is believed to absorb and repel negative energies, and this is what it was famed for in antiquity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal healers\u003c\/strong\u003e believe that if you hold a piece of Black Tourmaline in your hand and meditate with it, it can be a potent stress reliever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGarnet In Black Tourmaline Chakras\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarnet in Black Tourmaline\u003c\/strong\u003e is a very powerful \u003cstrong\u003eRoot Chakra Crystal\u003c\/strong\u003e, given the affinity of both \u003cstrong\u003eGarnet\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eBlack Tourmaline\u003c\/strong\u003e for this chakra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGarnet Chakras\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike \u003cstrong\u003eRuby\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eGarnet\u003c\/strong\u003e is deeply associated with the \u003cstrong\u003eHeart Chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e, and is said to enhance passion and love in one's relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarnet is also a very grounding stone, and therefore can be used with the \u003cstrong\u003eRoot Chakra\u003c\/strong\u003e to enhance one's connection to the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack Tourmaline Chakras\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack Tourmaline is heavily associated with the \u003cstrong\u003eRoot

protection on both a physical and psychic level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow Hard Is Garnet In Black Tourmaline?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring 7 to 7.5 on the \u003cstrong\u003eMohs scale\u003c\/strong\u003e, this mineral is relatively hard and durable and resistant to scratching, but care should still be taken not to damage the crystal
