Its deep black color comes from high iron content. It is found worldwide, with notable deposits in Brazil, Africa, Pakistan, and the United States. The natural striated surface of raw tourmaline, caused by the mineral's trigonal crystal structure, gives each stone a distinctive texture even at small sizes. No mystical claims. Just a striking stone that holds its ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRaw Black Tourmaline Chevron Ring: Materials \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStone: Raw black tourmaline, deep matte black with natural striated surface.

The chevron shape is formed by hand, then passed through the silver bath multiple times to build up a thick electroformed silver layer. The recessed areas are oxidized for contrast and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Note on Stone Variation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack tourmaline is a natural stone and each piece will vary slightly in surface texture and the character of its striations. Occasional small rod ends may be visible.
