Gem quality tourmaline forms in pegmatite, the source of many large gemstone crystals. These are igneous rocks whose crystals result from magma with high water content and slow cooling. The elbaite variety produces the notable jewel-bright colors associated with the gemstone, such as the rich magenta hues in this 18" necklace. The 10mm round gemstones are hand-knotted on natural silk cord, which provides fluid drape and strength. This classic gemstone necklace fastens easily with a large sterling silver S-hook.

Cost: $149.00 USD
