Black tourmaline, also known as schorl, is made up of a complex mixture of borosilicates and is found in a variety of crystalline forms. It is a very hard mineral and has great resistance to scratches and wear. 

Black tourmaline is often associated with the root chakra (Muladhara), which refers to our physical base, including the pelvic area and reproductive organs. This chakra is associated with our primal instincts, survival energy, and connection to the earth. Therefore, it can be said that black tourmaline can help balance and stabilize this chakra, which can lead to an improvement in the connection with one's own body.
