A strand of approximately 38 cm of faceted round black tourmaline beads, in a dense, deep black. The cut creates bright, almost metallic flashes on each bead, giving the strand a crisp brilliance.
Features:
A must-have for graphic creations, black tourmaline structures a delicate necklace, adds rhythm to a stacked bracelet, or highlights a colorful bead; it looks just as good for men as for women, paired with silver or gold. Fine 0.6 mm hole: plan for a 0.4 mm nylon thread or a fine cable.
A little gemology: black tourmaline, or schorl, is the most common species in the tourmaline group: an iron-rich borosilicate, NaFe₃Al₆(BO₃)₃Si₆O₁₈(OH)₄, that crystallizes in the trigonal system. It is this iron that makes it opaque and intensely black. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale and a density of about 3.2, it is a durable stone that stands up very well to everyday wear. The name “schorl” has been recorded since the 16th century in Saxony, probably after a mining village. It is mined notably in Brazil, Madagascar, India, and the United States.
Good to know: the black of tourmaline is a color inherent to the stone, stable over time. A quick wipe with a soft cloth is enough to restore its shine.
In lithotherapy: black tourmaline is associated with the root chakra. It is one of the best-known protection stones: it is believed to absorb tension, ward off negative energies, and help with grounding.
The strand you will receive: the photos and video show a strand from the batch your order comes from. The color, inclusions, and shades are therefore representative of what you will receive; since each stone is natural, slight variations from bead to bead are part of its character.
100% natural product: the size, shape, shade, and number of beads may vary slightly from one strand to another. Measurements and quantities are given for reference only.
