Black Tourmaline Crystal Pyramid Pyrite large enough to contain ash

large enough to contain ash from sustained burns

Its structure invites stillness and perspective

The aromatic profile here sits between the two - lighter than a classical absolute

Softer than quartz at Mohs 6–6

fine-grained toughness that let carvers work them without shattering

Black Tourmaline Crystal Pyramid Pyrite large enough to contain ashBlack tourmaline a dense, true black cut to four faces and an apex, marked with fine lengthwise grooves: schorl, one of the most chemically complex minerals cut as a stone. From Brazil, a pyramid. It is schorl, a sodium iron rich tourmaline, one of the most complex borosilicate minerals known, its formula running to a dozen elements; iron gives the deep black. Harder than quartz at Mohs 77. 5, with fine striations that often survive the polish.
