Celtic Tourmalinated Quartz Earrings

Also available for purchase at Rothwell Gallery in Ottawa. 

Gorgeous Tourmalinated Quartz dangle from triangle studs carved in wax and cast in Sterling Silver. They are very substantial but not heavy to wear. They shout class, quality and definitely one-of-a-kind. Geometric shapes in silver are both contemporary and timeless.

TOURMALINATED or TOURMALATED QUARTZ. You may see these terms to describe gemstones that show black needle-like markings within the transparent Quartz. These stones are beautiful and popular among gem lovers, but what exactly are those lines about? As the term implies, needles of Tourmaline are trapped within Quartz as it cools from liquid to rock. The Quartz is usually clear or a forest green colour.
