Black Crystals of Protection.
Black is not a color, but rather the lack of color. In nature,
black is the color of night when the Moon is not in the
sky to illuminate the landscape. Dark night is a time of
unease in which the familiar world is obscured. Humans
naturally fear the unknown and the unseen. Black is
naturally associated with such fears. Because we do not
know or understand death, black is often associated with
death and ending. However, black is actually a very
positive color.
Dark blacks are very protective and offer us a retreat, the
safety of being hidden from our enemies. Black crystals
such as hematite, agate, black tourmaline, and onyx are
power crystals that, like some red and scarlet minerals,
relieve our fears of physical harm.
Black is a protective color that actually gives us a sense of
power. It makes us feel secure, daring, and physically
powerful.
Dark-colored crystals deepen our connection to the
physical, natural world. They help relieve us of fears
specifically associated with our physical existence here on
Earth. Black crystals are used when we need protection
and mental fortitude. They are the crystals to use when
we need to feel safe and secure.
