Hi Michelle~ 
So happy about your beautiful new pendants and
that the tourmaline is assisting you so well~ 
Yes to the saging and tourmaline, great idea! 
DM told me about Copal a couple years ago and
it works very well, also. Then there is the help
of Violet Flame decrees for clearing & transmuting
the energy from the books...Visualize the Violet Flame
sweeping the room they are in and ask to be transmuted
or cleansed & cleared...
Thanks for sharing!
Love ~
~ Namaste,
