Black Tourmaline Crystal Pyramid Home Blessing even pale-green is sometimes colour-enhancedBlack tourmaline a dense, true black cut to four faces and an apex, marked with fine lengthwise grooves: schorl, one of the most chemically complex minerals cut as a stone. From Brazil, a pyramid. It is schorl, a sodium iron rich tourmaline, one of the most complex borosilicate minerals known, its formula running to a dozen elements; iron gives the deep black. Harder than quartz at Mohs 77. 5, with fine striations that often survive the polish.
