hi everyone caroline here if i had to choose between black tourmaline and black obsidian i
would totally choose black obsidian over black tourmaline and believe me when i tell you that
i absolutely love both of these stones so don't get me wrong but there's something that i want
you to pay attention to or to notice about black tourmaline and black obsidian so if you've been
using black tourmaline or black obsidian to absorb negative energy or for protection pay a little
extra attention because not all black colored stones are the same and not all black stones work
in the same exact way or do the same exact thing there are some subtle but powerful differences
in how these black colored crystals work so even though black tourmaline and black obsidian are
both defensive and protection energies against unwanted toxicity or negativity or whatever they
are different and this difference is what i'm inviting you to consider today so stay with me
okay all right you know i really like this type of information because it can help you know when
to use black tourmaline or when not to use black tourmaline or it can help you know when to use
black obsidian and when not to use black obsidian or what each of these crystals are doing in case
you have a choice to make so it's so cool and i love these types of details because they can
really help you go deeper into your awareness of why you are working with crystals they can really
help you explore that aspect of different crystals so that you're making the right decisions by you
every time you're working with your crystal babies you know if you've been watching my
channels that i'm always advocating for the fine-tuning of our personal experiences when
you're working with these amazing crystal beings and i am sure that there are many crystal lovers
who appreciate these different angles or different perspectives of approaching our work with crystals
in this deeper way so i am really really happy to share as always okay so here is the thing
even though black tourmaline and black obsidian are defensive stones and many of us
use them for protection or for removing unwanted energies or for removing unwanted negativity or
toxic energies or for expelling unwanted things from our lives or from our life experiences
these two black stones are similar in that sense because they are used for expelling energy
however i want you to consider this and this is just my personal experience black obsidian really
is the powerhouse protection stone of choice for me because it can do double duty and why is this
this is because it not only expels negativity but it also has the ability to secure the exterior
of a situation and prevent further things from going on because of that quality so it not only
expels energy out but it also secures the border it secures your energy and protects further things
from going on with you until your situationship is resolved so because of that black obsidian is
my power stone in case i really do need to make a choice between black tourmaline and black obsidian
and really i would like to know how you experience this for yourself this is what i have personally
experienced when working with these two stones that has led me to the conclusion that this
is something that is worth considering when it comes to protection crystals or using black stones
for protection okay so this is not to put black tourmaline down because i love black tourmaline
and i wear black tourmaline and i work with black tourmaline okay but the thing is this
black tourmaline only expels it does not secure it helps you move toxic energy out but it does not
secure the energy to prevent further ongoings so that means you really basically have to be
working with another crystal to help secure your exterior energy or your exterior space
while also at the same time working with black tourmaline to ensure that the energy
is moved away so in a sense if you're working with a stone like black obsidian then you can
do double duty as opposed to just working with one stone like black tourmaline so let me explain this
difference in another way black obsidian to me is almost like the security guard in a building
the one who can throw you out because you are an unwanted person or for whatever reason and at the
same time that same security guard will close the door or close the gate and make sure that you stay
out so there's that element of being able to push you out and keep you out and secure the building
black tourmaline on the other hand is like a bouncer at a club who just throws out those people
who are misbehaving so when you're misbehaving in the club and you're no longer wanted
black tourmaline comes and throws you out you're that energy that no one wants and you better get
out but once that job of expelling you out has been done black tourmaline leaves the job of
securing the club to another stone or crystal and that stone or crystal could potentially be black
obsidian so from this analogy you can probably tell that both of them are defensive stones but
the roles are different so this is what i want you to pay attention to the different
roles expel and secure and i believe i made a video about how black obsidian secures energy i'll
probably link to it at the end of the video so if you're interested you can watch it and see how the
energies of black obsidian secures the environment and because it does that it effectively prevents
external things from coming into your space and that is why it's such a powerful protection stone
it's so amazing how these stones and crystals work i really really enjoy these types of things okay
so again the one thing that i want you to observe about these two stones is that both of them expel
energy but only one of them secures energy and please feel free to tell me what you think about
this situation or whether you've observed it or whether you care or whether you don't care
or whether you agree with me or not but it would really just be so nice especially for me to know
where you're coming from with this perspective and how you're experiencing black tourmaline versus
black obsidian okay and i really hope that i've tried to make these distinctions clear for you
because i really want value to come out of this so that you can be able to choose your crystals
and know when you're really really protecting yourself versus when you're just expelling the
energy out and then leaving yourself sort of open and so that you can make the right choice for you
based on this understanding and for me personally i usually choose to wear genuine black obsidian
and believe me there's unfortunately a lot of fake black obsidians being sold out there so just
be careful about that it's always good to know of course black obsidian is natural glass but there's
a lot of glass dyed glass being passed as genuine black obsidian so just pay attention to that as
well it's unfortunate but you know what let's do our due diligence on this type of matters so my
choice is black obsidian or a combination of both well and in some cases black tourmaline so it's a
hard decision but thankfully i'm aware of which stone to use under different circumstances in
case i need to make a choice but i love all these stones so don't get me wrong all right leave your
comments below i'd love to hear and until next time keep those good vibes high all right bye
