Tourmaline Quartz Knotted Beaded Necklace from China
Tourmaline quartz
Tourmaline quartz is a variety of quartz that contains black needle-like inclusions of tourmaline (usually schörl). The contrast between the clear or milky quartz and the darker tourmaline needles gives the stone a distinctive and unique appearance. This makes each piece different and popular in both jewellery and collectibles.
Major deposits of tourmaline quartz include Brazil, Madagascar, Pakistan and the United States. The mineral is formed when quartz and tourmaline crystallise simultaneously in pegmatites or hydrothermal veins. The chemical formula of the quartz is SiOâ‚‚, combined with inclusions of tourmaline, and its hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale.

Our necklaces are available in various designs, including faceted, ball, split and knotted necklaces. Currently, all necklaces in our range are 45 cm long, which corresponds to a standard wearing length for most neck sizes. The beads or slivers used vary in shape and finish, giving each necklace a unique character.
The bead size varies depending on the type of chain, from around 4 mm in finer models to around 8 mm in the somewhat coarser versions. For split necklaces, uneven pieces of stone are used, with the split used varying from 5 to 10 mm, giving a natural look. Knotted necklaces feature a knot between the beads, which is not only decorative but also contributes to the strength of the jewellery.
Keep in mind that not every variety is available in all designs or bead sizes.
