Small, natural pieces of black tourmaline that bring the stone’s dense, deep-black character into the palm of your hand. The 0.5–1.5 cm size is ideal for decorative jars, crystal collections or styling a space.
The stone of black tourmaline
Black tourmaline (schorl) is a boron-bearing silicate mineral that grows in distinctive, lengthwise-striated crystals. Its deep-black colour and glassy lustre give it a striking presence, with a Mohs hardness of around 7. In crystal lore it is known as a stone of protection and grounding, and tradition holds that it helps keep a calm, balanced presence – which is why many like to set it near a desk or a screen.
Character and finish
These chips are raw, natural pieces, so every chip is unique: shade, shape and size may vary slightly from the photo. That is not a flaw but the nature of a genuine mineral. Pieces typically range between 0.5 and 1.5 cm.
Ways to use it
Black tourmaline chips are versatile: carry them in a small jar, place them in a crystal corner or meditation space, or use them in craft projects and as a thoughtful gift companion. Their earthy, grounded look suits any nature-inspired interior.
Good to know
As a natural stone, protect it from knocks and abrasive surfaces. From time to time you can rinse it under lukewarm water and pat it dry with a soft cloth.
