Tourmalinated quartz is clear to milky quartz shot through with thin black needles, light and shadow sharing the same piece of stone without either one winning. It's a stone for anyone trying to hold a hard feeling and a hopeful one at the same time, grief and gratitude, fear and momentum, instead of forcing the day into one mood or the other. Keep it on a desk during a week that's asking a lot of you in both directions, or hold it before a conversation that's going to need honesty and warmth in the same breath. The black needles are natural tourmaline crystals that grew inside the quartz as it formed, so the density and pattern of the needles differ from piece to piece. This one is cut to a clean point with a flat base to stand upright. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. Both colors, doing their work at once.
