Black tourmaline has been used for centuries as a protective stone associated with the Roman god Saturn and Saturn, the planet. This mineral's dark, velvety black appearance mirrors its ability to act as a shield against negative energies and harmful influences, making it a powerful ally for grounding and protection.
