Black buying Tourmaline Pendant, Raw Tourmaline Necklace Sterling Silver, Schorl Crystal Jewelry (8.5 ct) Wire Wrapped Black Crystal Jewelry, Long

This pendant features a crystal of black tourmaline. The raw crystal buying weighs in at 8.5 carats, and is set in sterling silver.

Tourmaline is a hugely diverse group of minerals. Though it comes in almost every color imaginable, black is the most common color. Black tourmaline, also sometimes called schorl, was often used in Victorian times in mourning jewelry. Fortunately, today the beauty of this often-neglected stone has been been more widely recognized.

This is a nice example, with a classic triangular cross-section and polished, lustrous crystal faces. It is actually a deep green and in some lights will throw off green flashes.
