{"product_id":"zylinder-turmalin-kette","title":"Cylinder Tourmaline Necklace","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThe Stone: Black Tourmaline from the Tourmaline Group\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack tourmaline goes by the mineralogical name schorl and belongs to the tourmaline group, a family of boron-bearing ring silicates made up mainly of sodium, iron, aluminum, boron, and silicon. Its deep black comes from the iron in its crystal structure. The mineral crystallizes in the trigonal system and grows as an elongated prism with a triangular cross-section and fine lengthwise striations. With a Mohs hardness of 7 to 7.5, it is one of the more durable gemstones. A special feature of tourmalines is their pyroelectricity: when the crystal is warmed, its ends become electrically charged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterial and Craftsmanship\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can choose between 925 sterling silver and warm 14K gold-filled. 14K gold-filled is a real, thick layer of gold that is firmly bonded to a base metal. Unlike simple gold plating, which is applied only wafer-thin, wears off over time, and fades fairly quickly, 14K gold-filled keeps its warm gold tone for years. The stone is cut and polished into a slim cylinder with six sides and two points. It is a genuine natural stone, but it has been treated, and I want to be upfront about that. The pendant hangs on a fine chain, and you choose its length when you order: 45 cm (17.7 in) or 40 cm (15.7 in).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning of the Stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name schorl comes from the Ore Mountains in Saxony, where it shows up as early as the 16th century, when the black mineral was first described. For centuries, the stone was worn as an amulet. By tradition, it stands for grounding, setting boundaries, and inner calm. As a birthstone for October, it also makes this tourmaline necklace a particularly personal gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCaring for Your Tourmaline Necklace\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pendant and chain are water-resistant and suitable for everyday wear. To make your necklace last as long as possible, though, avoid prolonged contact with salt water and chlorinated water, as well as perfume, lotions, and harsh cleaning products. After contact with seawater or pool water, it's best to rinse the necklace with clean water and dry it carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the stone has been treated, it doesn't belong in ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaners, and it should be protected from high heat and sudden changes in temperature. Store your necklace dry and apart from harder pieces of jewelry, because even a stone this hard can chip at the edges if it gets knocked. That way, the deep black of your stone stays even and calm for years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Handmade Art by Carola","offers":[{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279865200969,"sku":"TUR001","price":181.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279865233737,"sku":"TUR001","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279865266505,"sku":"TUR001","price":181.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279865299273,"sku":"TUR001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279865332041,"sku":"TUR001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279865364809,"sku":"TUR001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279865397577,"sku":"TUR001","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279865430345,"sku":"TUR001","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ With chain \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279865463113,"sku":"TUR001","price":147.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 45 cm","offer_id":55279865495881,"sku":"TUR001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ 40 cm","offer_id":55279865528649,"sku":"TUR001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ Pendant only \/ Pendant only","offer_id":55279865561417,"sku":"TUR001","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/1419\/5003\/files\/1_11e210bf-5c6e-4101-8a0d-afac42745b4d.png?v=1788793045","url":"https:\/\/by-carola.com\/en-int\/products\/cylinder-tourmaline-necklace","provider":"Handmade Art by Carola","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
