About the Item

Hand-carved from a single piece of tourmaline quartz, this sculptural bowl merges organic mineral formation with refined craftsmanship. The raw exterior preserves the natural matrix of the stone, where black tourmaline rods intersect within translucent crystal quartz, forming a complex, architectural network. The contrast between this unshaped raw exterior and the polished interior basin—finished to a high sheen—underscores both the material’s inherent drama and the artisan’s precision. Tourmalinated quartz, with its needle-like black inclusions, is valued for both its visual intricacy and its association with metaphysical clarity and protection. The piece sits at the intersection of decorative object and geological sculpture, making it well-suited for wabi-sabi, brutalist, or organic modern interiors. Excellent as a crystal centrepiece, collector’s specimen, or natural stone décor element. Dimensions: 22 cm W x 13 cm D x 7 cm H
