  NaFe²⁺₃Al₆Si₆O₁₈(BO₃)₃(OH)₃OH
• Although more unusual, other colors of Tourmaline inclusions sometimes can be found— this would change the energy of the stone as it is believed the Quartz Crystal amplifies the properties of the Tourmaline growing within (for other colors, consult their separate info sheets); Black Schorl is generally considered to be grounding and protective due to its color and high iron content
