Black tourmaline palm stones (pocket stones, touch stones, worry stones) fit nicely into the palm of the hand. These tactile stones are beautiful to display and admire but are small enough to place under a pillow or tuck into a bag or pocket. They can be chosen to hold during meditation or to place on a body part for healing and massage.
Tourmaline is the most multicolored mineral type known, occurring in virtually every color of the spectrum. It has many interesting optical properties. When viewed through their vertical axis, some specimens appear darker or differ in color than when seen through their horizontal axis. Certain Tourmalines exhibit a cat's eye effect when polished. This mineral is also piezoelectric which means that through mechanical action an electric pulse is formed, similar to quartz.
Tourmaline is sought after as a talisman of protection to deflect and counteract negative energies. It is also used to guard against radiation and environmental pollutants.
