This raw black tourmaline necklace keeps things simple and grounded. A small raw tourmaline crystal, 0.5 to 0.75 inches of deep black with natural striations, is electroformed in copper and hung on an adjustable black-brown leather cord so it sits exactly where you want it. Black tourmaline has been used as a protective and grounding stone across cultures for centuries, placed at thresholds, carried on the body, worn close. This is a piece for the person who wants something real and understated, a daily talisman that does not ask for attention but holds its meaning quietly.
Black tourmaline is associated with grounding, protection, and energetic shielding. Root chakra. Wear it when you need to feel steady and clear.
Why Black Tourmaline
Black tourmaline, also known as schorl, is a boron silicate mineral found in granite and metamorphic rock. Its deep black color comes from high iron content. Long associated with grounding and protection across cultures. Root chakra. Chosen for its deep black color, its raw striated form, and its grounding quality. No mystical claims. Just a genuinely distinctive stone with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Crystal Necklace Is Made
Each raw black tourmaline necklace is made by hand in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every tourmaline for its raw striated form and deep color, then electroform copper directly around the stone. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every piece is one of a kind.
A Note on Stone Variation
Because these are natural raw tourmaline stones, each piece varies in size, striations, and form. No two pieces are identical.
Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Keep the leather cord dry to preserve its condition. Store dry. Black tourmaline is relatively durable but avoid hard impacts. Polish copper with a soft cloth to maintain shine or let the patina deepen naturally over time.
Gift Packaging
Every order arrives gift-ready with natural materials and a handwritten note card. Add your message in the order notes.

Product Details
Materials & Metals
Each necklace is handcrafted from raw copper, and may include elements of brass, bronze, silver, or stainless steel, paired with carefully chosen stones, crystals, or natural elements.
Every piece is shaped by hand through the slow process of electroforming — a melding of earth, metal, and time that creates unique textures and forms.
All metals are nickel-free and sealed for comfortable, daily wear. Slight variations in color, texture, or patina are natural signs of the handmade process — each one-of-a-kind, just like its wearer.
Chain Options
Necklaces are available in a variety of lengths to fit every ritual and style:
- 16–18 inches – sits high at the collarbone
- 20–22 inches – a classic mid-chest length
- 24–30 inches – longer talisman style for layering
Chain styles may include cable, rolo, or oxidized link, chosen to complement each pendant’s design.
Leather Option
Select designs feature a soft, durable leather cord, fully adjustable from 12 to 24 inches.
Leather cords offer a grounded, natural feel and can be worn short as a choker or long for layering — making them versatile for both men’s and women’s styles.
Care & Maintenance
All metals and leather will naturally age with time and wear — it’s part of their alchemy.
To maintain brightness, polish gently with a soft cloth. To preserve patina or aged finish, simply wipe clean and store in a dry place. Avoid prolonged contact with water, lotion, or perfume.
Remove before showering or swimming. Use a soft cloth; avoid abrasive polishing on patinated copper.
Copper Protection
Embrace the Patina
Some collectors love the rich, aged look that copper develops over time. This natural patina tells a story—of adventures taken, energies absorbed, and the passage of time. If you resonate with that earthy, vintage look, feel free to let your copper evolve organically.
Why add lacquer?
- Slows the natural darkening (patina) of copper
- Minimizes the chance of skin reactions
- Keeps copper looking brighter for longer
- Protects while preserving the earthy character of your jewelry
Details:
- Optional upgrade available for $5
- Applied directly to your copper ring, necklace, earrings, cuff, or bracelet before shipping
- Clear finish — no change to the look or feel of your piece
