TOURMALINATED QUARTZ TUMBLE

Tourmalinated QuartzThis striking Tourmalinated Quartz Tumble is one of the most visually dramatic and energetically powerful combination stones in the crystal world — clear or smoky Quartz pierced by needle-like inclusions of black Tourmaline that create a bold, graphic pattern within the stone, combining the amplifying clarity of Quartz with the powerful protective energy of Black Tourmaline in one exceptional piece.Where It Is FoundTourmalinated Quartz is found primarily in Brazil (particularly Minas Gerais state, which is the world's primary commercial source), where Quartz and Black Tourmaline (Schorl) frequently form together in the same granitic pegmatite environments. Other sources include Madagascar, Pakistan, and the United States.Mineral Class / GeologyTourmalinated Quartz is a combination of two minerals: Quartz (silicon dioxide, SiO₂, Tectosilicate class, hardness 7) and Black Tourmaline / Schorl (iron aluminum boron silicate, Cyclosilicate class, hardness 7–7.5).
