Black Tourmaline Necklace
Black Tourmaline Necklace
Black tourmaline from Brazil, a raw crystal with elongated ridges, set in gold-plated silver. The black is matte and deep; light draws bright lines along the ridges, while the grooves remain black. The gold plating is the only warm element - on a black sweater, it is what stands out; on a white one, the entire silhouette of the stone is visible. The chain is 45 cm; 63 and 83 cm when the pendant is meant to hang lower.

About the stone
Black tourmaline, also known as schorl, is a boron silicate with an extraordinarily complex crystal structure. It is one of the world's most valued collector's minerals. It is characterized by a deep, almost entirely matte black color and unique elongated ridges on the surface of its crystals. It forms mainly in pegmatites, and its raw, mineral structure means that every specimen obtained has a unique pattern. Find out more in the article Black tourmaline - properties on our blog.
Care
Clean the gold-plated silver with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid contact between the necklace and water or perfume to protect the gold-plated layer. Store it in a soft pouch or a separate compartment of a jewelry box.
