A polished Black Tourmaline in Quartz incense holder with a small hole drilled in the centre to hold a stick of incense. Each is about 3 to 4 inches across and 1 to 1.5 inches tall.

Does it fit standard incense sticks?

Yes. The centre hole is sized for a standard incense stick. Set the stick in the hole and let the ash fall onto the polished stone.

Where does it come from?

Minas Gerais, Brazil, cut and polished at a cooperative there.

Is the stone treated?

The stone is natural. Each holder is hand-finished with a light coat of natural jojoba oil to bring out the colour, which we disclose openly.

Will mine look exactly like the photo?

The size and shape are consistent, but because it is natural stone the colour and pattern vary slightly from piece to piece.

How do I care for it?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth and clear the ash from the hole after use. Keep it out of harsh chemical cleaners.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

How do I know this crystal is ethically sourced?

Beyond Bohemian traces each stone as far up the supply chain as possible and is transparent when that tracing has limits. We work with small-scale operations and family-run suppliers wherever we can verify fair compensation. You can ask about any specific piece and we will tell you what we know and what we do not.

What is the return policy?

Crystal Family: Quartz + Tourmaline
Mohs Hardness: 7
Origin: Minas Gerais, Brazil
Beginner Friendly: Yes
Treatment Awareness: Low (natural, untreated typical)

Black Tourmaline in Quartz, sometimes called tourmalinated quartz, is clear to milky quartz threaded with jet-black rods of schorl tourmaline that grew inside it. Cut and polished, the black needles show sharply against the clear ground.

These incense holders come from a cooperative in Minas Gerais, Brazil, polished smooth with a small hole drilled in the centre for a stick of incense.

The pairing is traditionally read as clarity with protection, the amplifying nature of clear quartz alongside the grounding of black tourmaline.

Clear quartz is traditionally seen as an amplifier and black tourmaline as a grounding, protective stone. Together this combination is often kept for a clear, protected space.

As an incense holder it sits where you light a stick to reset a room, which suits the stone's clearing character.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
