Black Green Tourmaline Stud Earrings

Black tourmaline stud earrings in gold, platinum, or silver, optional screw backs.

Make a mysterious statement with these earrings that are so dark green, they're black. We purchased raw black tourmaline crystals at fair prices from local diggers during our buying trip to Namibia and had them cut exclusively for Distinction Jewelry.

An October birthstone, tourmaline comes in a rainbow of colors. 

Some tourmaline crystals can even display multiple colors! Watermelon tourmaline crystals have a green rind and a pink core, while others may graduate from one color to another. Mined in locations across the world, tourmaline can even be found in California and Maine in the US.

Native Americans gave tourmaline crystals as funeral gifts. Tourmaline was used by shamans for protection, and modern crystal healers believe that black tourmaline in particular is an incredibly powerful protective force.

These very dark green tourmalines are functionally black; while you may be able to see some green color, they will appear virtually black when you are wearing them. The raw crystals looked black from the outside; it was only when they were cut that we were able to see the color in them. I have a range of shades; if you prefer more green or more black, let me know - just be aware that all are very, very dark.
