This crystal point pairs polished pink tourmaline with its original host rock.
The contrast between glossy pink and textured matrix is what sets this point apart from a plain polished tower: you see the gem color and the rock it formed in at the same time. At about 7 inches tall, it is a strong focal piece for a bedroom, a desk, a bookshelf or a collector's cabinet. Tourmaline is one of the October birthstones, so it makes a meaningful gift for an October birthday, an anniversary or a collector who loves pink stones. It also has an unusual scientific quirk: tourmaline can pick up an electric charge when heated or rubbed. This is the exact point shown.
The point is about 7 by 3 by 2.75 inches. Look at the ruler photo for scale.
Tourmaline is a group of boron silicate minerals that comes in more colors than almost any other gem. Pink varieties get their color from manganese. It is pyroelectric and piezoelectric, meaning it can develop an electric charge when heated or squeezed.
Stone Meaning: Pink tourmaline is traditionally associated with love and compassion.
