TURMALINA - NEGRO - RODADO

Tourmaline is one of the most significant mineral groups for metaphysical use, and it includes a variety of different forms, colors and energy spectrums. Although Tourmaline can be found on every continent, fine crystal specimens and gems are still considered rare and often command high prices. Tourmaline is a complex aluminum borosilicate with a hardness of 7 to 7.5. Its crystal pattern is hexagonal (trigonal) with prismatic crystals and striations running parallel to the main axis. Though less colorful than other varieties, Black Tourmaline (also known as Schorl) is one of the most popular stones for spiritual purposes.
