Tourmalinated quartz jewelry features clear quartz crystals shot through with needle-like inclusions of black tourmaline. This natural phenomenon occurs when tourmaline crystals form inside quartz during the cooling process, creating distinct dark lines suspended in transparent stone. Each piece in our sterling silver collection showcases these organic patterns that no two stones share. With a Mohs hardness of 7, tourmalinated quartz holds up well to regular wear while making a graphic statement.
