Raw Black Tourmaline in Quartz

Material: Natural Black Tourmaline in Quartz with Hematite Inclusions (suspected), untreated. Weight: 157 grams. Finish: Raw, unpolished. Origin: Karur Mines, Tamil Nadu, India. Each specimen showcases jet-black tourmaline formations within a translucent quartz matrix, creating a striking contrast. The presence of hematite inclusions adds a unique, earthy undertone, enhancing the visual appeal with subtle reddish-brown accents. This raw piece remains untreated and unpolished, preserving its natural geological beauty. The quartz provides a radiant clarity, occasionally revealing wispy inclusions and internal veils, adding depth and character to the stone. Some areas display a silky, reflective shimmer, characteristic of hematite, especially under direct light. Small, natural imperfections such as tiny surface pits and irregular formations confirm its authenticity and natural state.
