Black Colour

Black is not a colour, but rather the lack of colour. In nature, black is the colour 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 you a retreat, the safety of being hidden from your enemies. Black is a protective color that actually gives you a sense of power. It makes you feel secure, daring, and physically powerful. Black crystals are used when you need protection and mental fortitude. They are the crystals to use when you need to feel safe and secure.
