Formed over millions of years as mineral-rich solutions crystallised deep within the earth, each specimen develops its own unique ridges, terminations, and surface geometry — no two are alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMounted on a sleek metal stand, this raw tourmaline specimen becomes an immediate focal point: a piece of genuine geological history presented as a sculptural display object. The contrast between the jet-black crystal mass and the clean metal base gives it a distinctly museum-quality presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout Tourmaline\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTourmaline is a crystalline boron silicate mineral, compounded with elements including aluminium, iron, magnesium, sodium, lithium, and potassium. Classified as a semi-precious stone, it occurs in a wide spectrum of colours — black tourmaline (schorl) is the most abundant variety and is prized for its bold, striated crystal habit and deep lustre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecimen Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMineral:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Tourmaline (Schorl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Raw natural crystal cluster on metal display base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~1kg (small)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metal stand included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Each specimen is unique — exact shape, ridges, and patterning will vary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDisplay \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep away from prolonged direct sunlight to preserve surface lustre.
