Tourmalated Quartz - 18k Yellow Gold - Poppy
Tourmalated quartz is a captivating gemstone that showcases black tourmaline crystals suspended within clear rock crystal quartz. This unique combination formed deep within the Earth's rocky crust up to 500 million years ago, during a time when our modern continents were still taking shape.
The formation process began as mineral-rich hydrothermal fluids seeped through underground cracks. As quartz crystals grew, slender tourmaline needles formed within them, creating the striking visual effect we see today. Each piece of tourmalated quartz tells its own story of mineral growth, with the random arrangement of inclusions ensuring no two stones are alike.
Our pendant highlights this geological wonder in a handcrafted setting designed to showcase the stone's natural beauty. The clear quartz allows light to illuminate the black tourmaline inclusions, creating a mesmerising play of light and shadow that changes with movement.
This lovely handmade piece is perfect for everyday wear, its neutral palette complementing a wide range of styles. The pendant can be worn on its own as a striking statement piece or combined with other Poppy pendants to create a personalised collection.
By wearing this tourmalated quartz pendant, you carry a small piece of Earth's history - a snapshot of geological processes frozen in time, now preserved in a beautiful, wearable form.
