Tourmalated Quartz Tumble Stone

POLISHED + AUTHENTIC + TUMBLED

Tourmalated Quartz or Tourmalined Quartz is a clear quartz which has crystals of black tourmaline running through it. Quartz is the best-known piezoelectric gem--it can carry an electrical charge when exposed to an applied voltage, in response to pressure or in response to mechanical stressors. Quartz is also a pyroelectric gem--able to generate an electric charge through rapid states of temperature change. These are the scientific qualities behind reliable and accurate quartz movements in watches. The same properties mean it is ideal for use in microphones, speakers, filters and sonar.
