Black tourmaline is a tourmaline in a iron-containing black minerals, also known as black tourmaline. The chemical composition is (Na, Ca) (Fe, Mg, Al, Mn, Li) 3Al6 (BO3 (OH, F) 4 (Si6O18).

In the shape

Obsidian is amorphous,translucent - transparent, tourmaline is three crystal,Columnar crystal structure.

In the application

The biggest advantage of single crystal tourmaline is the ability to produce a permanent weak current of 0.06 milliampere, similar to the current through the human nerve, to promote blood circulation smoothly. (Use of tourmaline anion and infrared function can be cured of many years of women suffering from limbs, cold shoulder pain, low back pain, physical pain and neuralgia, etc.)

As the tourmaline has a special thermoelectricity and piezoelectricity, in the heat, pressure or by other energy excitation will produce electricity, the release of a large number of negative ions and radiation far infrared, with a special electromagnetic wave protection. Therefore, tourmaline can be widely used in environmental protection, electronics, cosmetic, textile, ceramics, building materials and other industries.

As tourmaline particles can enhance the activity of water molecules, increase the amount of negative ions in water. So it is widely used in drinking water activation, sewage treatment, air purification and other fields.

As tourmaline has the ability to stimulate negative ions and far infrared, but also for daily health care products, beauty cosmetics, sauna, washing facilities, the main material.
