With a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5, it is quite robust and forms the characteristic, longitudinally striated columnar crystals you see on this piece. Its deep black color is caused by iron in the crystal lattice, which was deposited over millions of years during formation in pegmatites. The white portions come from albite, a feldspar that often grows together with tourmaline and gives each specimen its own unique signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I properly care for my Black Tourmaline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eThanks to its hardness of 7 to 7.5, Black Tourmaline can easily be rinsed briefly with lukewarm water. It is better to avoid direct, prolonged sunlight, as it can make the surface appear duller over time. To energetically recharge it, simply place the stone briefly next to a selenite plate or gently surround it with incense smoke. Dust can be easily removed from between the crystal grooves with a soft, dry cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 itemprop=\"name\"\u003eHow do I recognize genuine Black Tourmaline?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv itemscope=\"\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp itemprop=\"text\"\u003eUnlike dyed glass or black plastic, genuine Schorl always shows fine, parallel longitudinal streaks along the crystal columns, which run slightly irregularly upon close inspection. It feels significantly heavier than an imitation of the same size and never breaks into smooth, flawless surfaces, but rather into natural, sometimes sharp edges. Also look for embedded accessory minerals like albite or quartz, which are missing in artificial replicas. Each of my specimens comes directly from Brazilian pegmatites and has been left untreated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs this size too bulky for you?
