Black Tourmaline (Schorl) Crystals with Quartz Matrix – Collector Specimens- 149 g - (11)

Black tourmaline, also known as schorl, is one of the most common tourmaline varieties and is recognized for its striking deep black color and prismatic crystals. It is a complex boron silicate mineral that frequently forms elongated, striated crystals and is often found embedded in quartz matrices. Its robust crystal form and attractive luster make it a favorite among mineral collectors. Black tourmaline is traditionally believed to have grounding and protective properties, which adds to its appeal beyond aesthetics. Collector specimens that combine clear quartz and glossy schorl crystals offer a beautiful contrast and demonstrate geological processes where multiple minerals crystallize together.
