*CLOSEOUT* Crushed Black Tourmaline Sand from Brazil, Medium Sand (0.25mm-2mm) for Woodworking and Ring Inlay, Resin Art, Memorial Jewelry

Tourmaline is not a single mineral, but a large family of closely related minerals known for their unusual optical and physical characteristics. It is chemically more complex than most minerals and displays an exceptional range of colors and varieties, though black tourmaline is the most abundant. This crushed black tourmaline, sourced from Brazil, has a striking natural sparkle. It is high quality material, with a minor amount of quartz, muscovite mica, and iron staining present, which is why it is being offered as a closeout deal.

Our medium material is considered to be sand sized (fine sand to very coarse sand), ranging between 0.25 millimeters to 2 millimeters. This size is great for most woodworking inlays, memorial and resin jewelry, orgonite pyramids, ring inlay, resin molds, mosaics, terrariums, bezel cups, resin art, embellishments, and metaphysical projects.

CLOSEOUT CORNER

Our "Closeout Corner" consists of leftover material from our regular stock that has some imperfections. This is due to natural factors such as: color variations, the presence of host rock, the presence of other auxiliary minerals, and/or staining due to natural weathering processes. Closeout crushed material is offered at a discount price and is a great option for makers who prefer a more rustic look with natural variation. 

***Closeout deals are not a part of our regular stock. These deals are limited in quantity while supplies last. Each batch will be different in terms of color ratios.***
