How to know if black tourmaline is real?
The weight and feel
Authentic beads feel dense and heavy compared to glass or Black Obsidian Beads. A strand of Black Tourmaline Beads 8mm carries a reassuring weight when held.
Surface texture
Real tourmaline often shows fine vertical striations. In contrast, fake or dyed beads look unnaturally glossy. Faceted Black Tourmaline pieces should still display a deep, natural luster instead of plastic-like shine.
Powder residue
True Genuine Black Tourmaline Beads sometimes leave behind a faint black powder during shipping. This trait is rarely found in synthetic materials and is a sign of authenticity.

Personal Experience with Black Tourmaline
I have worked with many strands of Genuine Black Tourmaline Beads, and several details stand out:
-
Raw black tourmaline, also called 电气石 in Chinese, resembles coal—jet black, fragile, and sometimes shaped like a sword. Placed at home, it gives a distinctive presence, and in the hand it feels noticeably heavy.
-
Beads come in three grades: A (flawless, smooth, glossy), AB+ (slight striations like knife marks), and AB (mixed black-and-white tones, like streaks of white hair among black).
-
Compared with Black Obsidian Beads, tourmaline feels heavier and is usually strung on black cotton thread, while obsidian strands use transparent elastic.
-
Against black spinel, tourmaline is lighter and less flawless. I once received a shipment of Genuine Black Tourmaline Beads that left a fine black powder in the box. The factory explained it was a natural residue from transport, something never seen with obsidian or spinel because of their different structures.
Conclusion
Genuine Black Tourmaline Beads are more than gemstones—they are symbols of strength, grounding, and timeless elegance. Whether you prefer smooth or Faceted Black Tourmaline, small 4mm spacers or bold 12mm strands, each bead carries protective energy and natural beauty. Perfect for bracelets, malas, and necklaces, they stand apart from lighter stones like Black Obsidian Beads.
