Black Tourmaline with Mica on Matrix, Metal Stand - One of a Kind, 10.5 In

This black tourmaline with mica on matrix pairs bold black crystal with flashes of gold for a true statement piece.

Heavy amounts of mica coat the stone and give it a golden sparkle that contrasts with the deep black tourmaline, and it comes alive in natural light. The piece arrives on a very sturdy metal stand that was shaped to fit this exact stone, so it sits upright and secure without any fiddling. With the stand it stands about 10.5 inches tall, a strong focal point for a living room shelf, an entryway, an office or a collector's cabinet. Black tourmaline grows as long, striated crystals, and the matrix here keeps that raw, natural character. It makes a memorable gift for a housewarming, a new business or an October birthday. This is the exact specimen and stand shown.

With the stand, the piece is about 6 by 6 by 10.5 inches; the stone alone is about 4 by 5.25 by 6.25 inches.

About Black Tourmaline and Mica

Tourmaline is a large group of boron silicate minerals, and schorl, the black variety, is the most common. It grows as prismatic crystals, usually triangular in cross section, with heavy vertical striations. Mica is a group of sheet silicates that split into thin, flexible flakes with a pearly to metallic luster, which is where the golden sparkle comes from.

Stone Meaning: Black tourmaline is traditionally associated with grounding and protection.
