About Tourmaline
Tourmaline is not one mineral but a group of related borosilicates sharing a structure while differing in chemistry. That flexibility gives tourmaline the widest colour range of any gem family, including bicoloured crystals that shift along their length. You can read more via gemmological reference, mineral data.
Tourmaline crystallises in granitic pegmatites and in some metamorphic rocks, forming the long striated prisms collectors recognise. Chemistry can change as a crystal grows, producing the banded watermelon effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do I receive in this parcel?
You receive the whole lot pictured: 14.05 grams of natural Mixed Tourmaline rough, with individual stones between 0.15 to 1 grams. The parcel is not split and the stones are not sold separately.
How should I orient these pieces before cutting?
Inspect each piece of rough under strong light to check for natural growth lines and internal fractures. Orienting your cut along the main axis helps preserve the strongest colour saturation.
Are these pieces suitable for wire wrapping?
Yes, many rough pieces in this parcel feature shapes that lend themselves well to secure wire wrapping without requiring any prior lapidary work.
How durable is this material for daily wear jewellery?
Tourmaline sits comfortably on the Mohs scale, making these stones durable enough for pendants, earrings, and occasional wear rings when set securely.
What is the best way to clean finished tourmaline?
Wash your finished pieces using warm soapy water and a soft brush to remove any lingering polishing compound or residue from your bench work.
How long does delivery take, and can I return it?
We contact you directly as soon as your order is placed to arrange delivery, so you always know where the parcel is. Returns are accepted within 7 days of the date you receive the item.
Are your stones natural, or are any of them synthetic?
