Black tourmaline grows as long, striated crystals, and here it has been polished into a point together with feldspar and mica.
The three minerals give the tower a mixed look, with black tourmaline running through the feldspar and mica adding its pearly shine as you turn it. Polishing brings all of them to a smooth finish, so you can see how they sit together. At about 8.25 inches tall, it is slim enough for a bookshelf or a desk corner but tall enough to be noticed, and the ruler photo confirms the size. Tourmaline is a birthstone for October, which makes this a fitting pick for an October birthday or for anyone drawn to dark, earthy stones over bright ones. This is the exact tower shown.
The tower is about 8.25 by 2.5 by 2 inches.
Black tourmaline is schorl, the most common member of the tourmaline group of boron silicates, and its crystals are usually long prisms with a triangular cross section and striated faces. Feldspars make up the most abundant mineral group in Earth's crust, and mica is a sheet silicate that splits into thin, flexible flakes.
Stone Meaning: Black tourmaline is traditionally associated with grounding and protection.
