Product Description

Introduction

Carved from solid Black Tourmaline (Schorl), this 4 kg skull pairs commanding presence with the mineral’s legendary protective energy. At ~5 × 4 × 6 inches, it delivers a dense, dramatic focal point for advanced collectors and design-forward spaces.

Geological Details

Black Tourmaline is an iron-rich borosilicate in the trigonal crystal system, renowned for parallel striations and inky black color. Large, cohesive blocks suitable for sculpture are uncommon compared with quartz, which makes substantial tourmaline carvings notably scarce.

Aesthetic Appeal

A sleek polish amplifies the stone’s dark sheen while preserving natural linear striations. Light glides across the brow and cheekbones, shifting from satin to glossy highlights and emphasizing the sculpted teeth and cranium.

Metaphysical Properties

Celebrated as a premier stone for protection and grounding, Black Tourmaline is said to transmute negativity and stabilize the field. In skull form—symbol of wisdom and transformation—the piece becomes a potent energetic anchor for studios, sanctuaries, and collections.

Rarity

Tourmaline is far less common in large carvings than quartz. At 4 kg with strong structure and finish, this skull sits firmly in the museum-scale category.

Why You Will Love This

Bold, protective, and undeniably sculptural—this skull reads equally well as fine mineral art and as a powerful metaphysical centerpiece.

Collector’s Note

Display Recommendations

Use directional LED to accentuate the linear striations and glossy planes. Handle with care—tourmaline can show natural cleavage along striations. Dust with a dry microfiber cloth only.
