Pink Tourmaline on Matrix Polished Point - One of a Kind, Large, 8 In

Tourmaline gets its pink from manganese, and here those pink crystals are still embedded in the rock they grew in, shaped and polished into a large point.

Polishing a point from matrix keeps the crystals in context, so instead of a loose gem you see how pink tourmaline sits inside its host stone. At about 8 inches tall and 5 inches across, it is a broad, solid piece that holds its own on a mantel, a console table or a collector's shelf, and it stands out even from the doorway. Pink tourmaline is an October birthstone and the traditional gem for an eighth anniversary, which gives you two ready reasons to give it, and it is just as fitting as a gift to yourself. If you are wondering whether the pink is real crystal rather than paint or dye, the color comes from the pink tourmaline crystals set in the matrix. This is the exact point shown.

It is about 8 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. There is a ruler photo for scale.

About Pink Tourmaline

Tourmaline is a large group of boron silicate minerals, and manganese is what produces its pinks and reds. Elbaite, the lithium bearing species, is behind many of the colored varieties. Tourmaline crystals grow as long prisms, usually triangular in cross section with lengthwise striations, and tourmaline is an October birthstone and the gem for the eighth anniversary.

Stone Meaning: Pink tourmaline is traditionally associated with love and compassion.
