Black Tourmaline - Chips Bracelet

Black Tourmaline, often referred to as Schorl, is a boron-rich silicate mineral and is a member of the Tourmaline family. It was discovered in 1400 AD in a small village in Saxony, Germany, which gave the stone its name. Although Tourmaline of various varieties can be found on every continent, well-formed crystals are rare and can fetch very high prices.

Used since ancient times, Tourmalines gained popularity as gemstones about 150 years ago. In 1876, George Kunz sold a green tourmaline from Maine to the famous house of Tiffany and Co. Before that time, these stones were already popular in the Mediterranean region, as evidenced by a statue of Alexander the Great, supposedly carved in India, which has been dated to the second or third century B.C. In addition, Tourmalines, regardless of their color, have the ability to become electrically charged when rubbed, thereby attracting particles from the air.

The most significant deposits of Black Tourmaline stone are found in Afghanistan, Angola, Australia, Burma, Brazil, United States, India, Madagascar, Mozambique, Rhodesia, Russia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Thailand.
