Collection: TOURMALINE QUARTZ

Tourmalinated Quartz is a variety of clear quartz that contains needle-like inclusions of black tourmaline (typically schorl) trapped inside the crystal. It forms when quartz and tourmaline grow together in the same geological environment, usually in granite-rich pegmatites where mineral-rich fluids cool slowly and allow multiple minerals to crystallize side by side. Historically, it has been used mainly in modern jewelry and decorative carving, valued for its striking contrast between transparent quartz and dark internal strands that create a naturally graphic, almost abstract appearance.
