About This Black Tourmaline

Black tourmaline is dense, heavy for its size, and so dark it reads almost architectural. Run your fingernail along a good piece and you'll feel the vertical striations that tell you the crystal grew straight up out of the rock.

Sourced directly from Minas Gerais, Brazil.

Tourmaline derives from the Sinhalese word 'turmali.' Black tourmaline has been used as a protective talisman for centuries.

Traditionally Used For

Those who work with black tourmaline often turn to it 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, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. How you use it is up to you.

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

Good to Know

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real black tourmaline, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural black tourmaline from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Our Black Tourmaline is personally selected and we disclose treatment status per batch. If you have questions about your specific lot, reach out to us directly.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces from the same batch photographed, weighed to the amount you choose. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos. Single specimens are listed separately and say so.

What size are the pieces, and how many are in a pound?

Each piece measures 1 to 1.5 inches on its longest side and weighs 10 to 30 grams. About 24 to 40 pieces per pound at this size, and each option shows its piece count.

What does AA grade mean?

AA Grade indicates dense, uniform black color, good tumble polish, and intact structure. Black Tourmaline's natural striations are a characteristic feature, not a flaw, and are visible in well-graded pieces. 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.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

These stones are sourced from Brazil, the world's largest producer of tourmaline. Brazilian Black Tourmaline is valued for its deep, consistent black color and striated surface texture that remains visible even after tumbling. It came to us through a community partnership, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
