The deep, matt black of this pointed obelisk catches the eye at once, with Usui reiki symbols engraved into the black tourmaline. At roughly 7.5–10 cm tall, it is a striking desktop piece for a meditation corner or a writing desk.
About black tourmaline
Black tourmaline (schorl) is a boron-bearing mineral with a columnar structure and a characteristic deep black colour. In crystal lore it is known as a stone of grounding and protection, traditionally linked to the root chakra. In plain terms, it is a well-polished, decorative stone column whose matt surface lends a calm, serious character.
Usui reiki
Reiki is a hands-on method originating in Japan, developed by Master Mikao Usui. Practitioners are traditionally said to channel universal energy through their hands for the wellbeing of others; reiki is never meant to replace medical care. The engraved marks belong to this tradition.
Feng shui and placement
Feng shui is a Chinese teaching more than three thousand years old about the link between surroundings and wellbeing, and the harmonious flow of chi. The black obelisk's pointed form and grounded colour make a popular accent in a workspace, near an entrance or on a shelf.
