Formation:
Tourmaline with Hematite forms when boron-rich minerals crystallize alongside iron-rich solutions, creating natural inclusions of Hematite within the Tourmaline crystal. Over geological time, these minerals develop in pegmatites or hydrothermal veins. Polishing enhances the contrast between the deep Tourmaline hues and metallic Hematite patterns.

Care:
Clean gently with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged sunlight exposure. Store in a dry, padded container to prevent scratches and preserve the polished surface.
