Strung by hand in 3mm tourmaline beads chosen to sit evenly together — consistent in size, close in tone, and finished so the line of the strand stays clean.
The tone here runs a wide range of colours, sometimes several in one crystal. Tourmaline forms in more colours than almost any other gem species, and it is not unusual for a single crystal to show two or more at once.
The polish is smooth and even, with no filler or surface coating. Cut from natural stone, each bead carries its own slight variation in tone and internal texture — inherent to the material rather than a defect.
The name comes from the Sinhalese toramalli, meaning ‘mixed stones’ — a reference to the mixed parcels of colour that came out of the earliest finds.
Tourmaline occurs in more colours than almost any other gem species, and in crystal tradition that variety is itself the meaning — a stone of mixed moods held together in one piece.
Strong enough to wear alone, quiet enough to layer under a collar or over knitwear.
Care is simple: a soft dry cloth after wear, and storage out of prolonged direct sun. Keep it away from perfume, household chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners.
The cultural associations described above come from traditional lore, folk custom and personal sentiment. This is a natural mineral piece sold as jewellery, and nothing here is intended as a medical or therapeutic claim.
