Feldspar and Black Tourmaline Polished Oval Bowl - One of a Kind, 5 In

Three minerals share this small polished bowl: feldspar, black tourmaline and flecks of mica.

The black tourmaline shows up as dark areas within the feldspar, and the mica adds small reflective spots when light hits the polished surface. The oval shape makes it a handy catchall for rings, a few tumbled stones or keys by the door, and it sits well on a meditation shelf or a desk. At five inches long it is small enough to slip into a bag as a gift. Someone who collects black tourmaline will appreciate seeing it in a rock with its usual companions. This is the exact bowl shown.

The bowl is about 5 by 4 inches and 1.5 inches high; check the ruler photo for scale.

About Feldspar, Tourmaline and Mica

Feldspars are the most abundant mineral group in Earth's crust, with a hardness of about 6 to 6.5. Black tourmaline, called schorl, grows as prismatic crystals with heavy vertical striations, often triangular in cross section. Mica is a sheet silicate that splits into thin flexible flakes with a pearly to metallic luster.

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