This is an AAA-grade raw Black Tourmaline specimen from Vakinankaratra, Madagascar. Iron gives schorl its opaque black color, and this piece shows the clean prism faces and vertical striations of natural tourmaline. It measures 2.52 x 2.09 x 1.43 inches and weighs 188 grams at Mohs 7-7.5, fully natural and untreated. A favorite grounding stone.
Black tourmaline is schorl, the iron-rich member of the tourmaline group. Iron saturates the crystal to an opaque, light-absorbing black. This is a raw specimen: a natural crystal with the deep vertical striations that mark true tourmaline growth, heavier in hand than quartz of the same size.
We bring these raw pieces in from Vakinankaratra, Madagascar.
Tourmaline takes its name from the Sinhalese word 'turmali.' Black tourmaline has been carried as a protective talisman for centuries.
Black tourmaline is traditionally a stone for a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, staying connected to your body and the moment, and cleansing. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra.
If that resonates, hold it in your non-dominant hand for a few breaths when things feel shaky, or set it on a desk or near a doorway.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Offered as a starting point for your own practice.
Black Tourmaline sits at 7-7.5 on the Mohs scale, harder than a steel blade, so it handles daily carry and a quick rinse without fuss. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.
For quiet protection.

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every lot is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.
Vakinankaratra, Madagascar, sourced through a community partnership. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
Every lot is inspected and graded by our expert team before it is listed, not taken on the supplier's word. AAA on this listing means stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing than the batch average. Pieces that miss the mark never reach the shop.
How We GradeSourced through a regional cooperative or community-based workshop. Processing and economic benefit stay local, which means more of the value reaches the people doing the work. We say what we know and where our tracing stops.
Our Sourcing StandardsEverything we sell is natural in origin: never synthetic, never dyed, never coated. Where a stone has been heated, irradiated or stabilized, which is common in the trade for some species, we say so on the listing. If a piece is not as described, return it within 90 days of delivery.
Returns and GuaranteeA one-of-a-kind piece sells once, so it rarely has reviews of its own. These are verified reviews of other Beyond Bohemian orders, not of this piece.
