The pink in tourmaline comes from manganese, and here that color sits in crystals still held by their host rock, polished into a short, wide point.
This one is broad for its height, about 3.5 inches across at roughly 4.5 inches tall, which gives it a sturdy, grounded shape on a shelf. The broad faces work almost as windows, showing where pink tourmaline crystal meets matrix, and the pattern changes as you turn it. If you want something more mineral than ornament, matrix pieces like this show how tourmaline actually grows. It suits a collector's shelf, an October birthday or an eighth anniversary. This is the exact tourmaline point pictured.
It is roughly 4.5 inches tall by 3.5 inches wide by 2 inches deep, and the ruler photo shows how it compares.
Tourmaline is a large group of boron silicate minerals, and elbaite, the lithium bearing species, is behind most colored gem tourmaline. Manganese produces its pinks and reds. Pink to red tourmaline often shows more visible inclusions than green or blue material, and tourmaline is an October birthstone as well as the gem for the eighth wedding anniversary.
Stone Meaning: Pink tourmaline is traditionally associated with love and compassion.
