Black Tourmalated Quartz with Limonite Flame from Brazil ✨
This striking flame brings together three powerful forces of nature: ⚡ Black Tourmaline needles locked inside clear Quartz, forming striking dark inclusions that look like lightning bolts frozen in stone. ☀ Quartz, the ultimate amplifier, making every strand of tourmaline even more potent. 🌟 And then there’s the golden Limonite, an earthy mineral that formed later, filling part of the Quartz with a vivid splash of yellow ochre – creating a dramatic contrast against the smoky-grey crystal base.
💎 Formation Story Tourmalated Quartz forms when Black Tourmaline grows first, then Quartz crystals develop around it, naturally trapping the tourmaline inside. Over time, iron oxidation introduces Limonite, bringing those bold golden tones. Together, they create a piece that’s not only beautiful but also a geological story captured in stone.
