Meaning & history
Tourmaline forms in long, striated crystals and is unusual among gemstones for naturally growing in multiple colors within one crystal, a trait gemologists call color zoning. In crystal tradition it is valued for protection and balance, with different colors traditionally linked to different chakras — pink to the heart, green to growth, and darker tones to grounding. A multicolor piece is often carried as an all-around balancing stone. See more in our tourmaline collection or browse balance & wellness pieces.
How to wear it
The chain adjusts from 16 to 20 inches, sitting neatly at the collarbone or layered with other delicate necklaces. Many people wear it daily as a subtle, colorful accent that pairs with nearly any outfit. Because each bead is natural, the exact color distribution varies from necklace to necklace, so yours will be one of a kind.
Care & cleansing
Tourmaline is reasonably hard and holds up well to regular wear. Wipe the beads with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove oils and perspiration, and store the necklace away from other jewelry to prevent scratching. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, and prolonged soaking, and remove the necklace before swimming or showering.
Frequently asked questions
