For a joint Christmas gift for your parents, we suggest black tourmaline on a stand for their home, priced at PLN 599, paired with bracelets made from the same stone, for Mom and for Dad, at PLN 110 each. If four of you chip in for the specimen, it comes to about PLN 150 per person, and the pair of bracelets costs PLN 220 total. The specimen is for both of them, and you don’t need to know their size; each parent gets their own bracelet.
- For the home: black tourmaline No. 240 on a steel stand, listed weight 1.7 kg, PLN 599, one-of-a-kind piece.
- For their wrists: a pair in black tourmaline for PLN 220 total, or in lapis lazuli for PLN 270 total.
- Split the cost: the specimen alone comes to about PLN 300 per person for two people, about PLN 200 each for three, and about PLN 150 each for four.
- For Christmas Eve: order by Wednesday, December 16 (excluding custom-made items and oversized products).
For the home: black tourmaline on a stand for PLN 599
Specimen No. 240 is a raw schorl crystal, or black tourmaline, from Brazil. It has long grooves along its entire length and stands on a black steel stand with a square base, so it’s ready to display on a dresser, bookshelf, or windowsill. According to the product card, the specimen weighs 1.7 kg.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece: your parents will receive exactly the crystal shown in the product photos. W tradition, black tourmaline is considered a protective stone. To keep it on a shelf, simply dust it with a soft brush or cloth.
Other specimens on stands and bases are in the natural stone decor collection.
For their wrists: the same tourmaline for Mom and Dad, PLN 110 each
Both bracelets feature black tourmaline beads about 6 mm in size, so they look like a pair side by side. The only difference is one hematite bead: gold-colored in the bracelet for Mom, silver-colored in the bracelet for Dad. They slip over the hand and have no clasp.
The women’s bracelet comes in sizes S 13–14 cm, M 15–16 cm, and L 17–18 cm; the men’s bracelet comes in sizes S 16–17 cm, M 17–18 cm, and L 18–20 cm. Wrap a measuring tape or thread around the wrist so it fits snugly without squeezing. Find other men’s gemstone designs in the men’s bracelets collection.
When giving the bracelets, tell your parents to remove them before washing their hands or showering. A wet elastic cord loses its elasticity more quickly, and the golden bead on Mom’s bracelet is coated hematite, whose coating is gradually weakened by water and household chemicals.
If they prefer color: a lapis lazuli pair for 140 and 130 zł
The bracelet for Mom made of navy lapis lazuli costs 140 zł, and you can choose silver or gold-plated silver spacers. The bracelet for Dad costs 130 zł and has one silvery hematite bead. Both have approximately 6 mm beads on jewelry elastic.
Lapis lazuli is softer than tourmaline and also porous, so it shouldn’t be soaked or washed with detergents. This pair should also be removed before washing your hands, showering, and washing dishes, and put on only after applying hand cream. Find out which stones can get wet and which can’t in our guide to cleaning natural stone jewelry.
A shared gift for your parents: how much per person?
| You’re pooling your money | The specimen itself, black tourmaline no. 240 |
|---|---|
| two people | about 300 zł per person |
| three people | about 200 zł per person |
| four people | about 150 zł per person |
If you’re adding bracelets, a pair of black tourmaline bracelets costs 220 zł in total, while a pair of lapis lazuli bracelets costs 270 zł. Before buying, decide who will place the order and which address the package should be sent to.

- One thing for their shared home. They can both see a specimen on a dresser or shelf. We offer black tourmaline no. 240.
- Something personal for each parent. We offer tourmaline bracelets for Mom and for Dad. If your parents live separately, each has one at home.
- No guessing clothing sizes. For a bracelet, all you need is one wrist measurement.
A Christmas gift for your in-laws

Order by this date for delivery by Christmas Eve
For delivery by Christmas Eve, order by Wednesday, December 16 (excluding made-to-order items and oversized items). Oversized specimens are shipped separately — with no free shipping and no “by Christmas Eve” delivery date. Tourmaline no. 240 is not oversized, so the December 16 deadline applies.
The iron content gives specimen no. 240 its black color: schorl is a tourmaline rich in this element and also the most commonly found in nature. The name “tourmaline” refers to an entire group of dozens of minerals with a shared structure, recognized by the International Mineralogical Association.
