Polished Black Tourmaline Pyramid

Black tourmaline from Brazil, polished into a square-based pyramid. Triangular faces meet at the apex, with straight edges giving the stone a clear geometric form. The glossy planes separate into light and shadow as illumination falls across them.

Look closely and patterns emerge within the black ground. Joun notes that these subtle markings reveal the natural stone beneath the worked shape—a quiet contrast between mineral texture and precise geometry.

Place it in an entryway or a personal room where its surfaces can be appreciated. Soft light from diagonally above, as Joun recommends, brings out the contrast between adjoining faces and traces the edges.

Handle gently and avoid knocks, particularly at the apex and along the edges.
