About the Item

A large natural black tourmaline mineral specimen originating from Zimbabwe. While tourmaline may not shine as other bright as other minerals, it offers a distinctive look almost like fossilised tree trunks displaying various brown tones in a formation of layers across its secondary mineral deposits. This specimen in particular has variable preservation of terminations with its crystals displaying a raw, natural quality that sets them apart from other tourmaline varieties. With its intriguing natural character this mineral would make an impressive sculptural piece in any property or collectors cabinet.
