Black tourmaline is the most well-known variety of tourmaline. It is also identified as schorl. It is called black, but it can also be dark brown. It has gained its notoriety over time due to its many properties.

So black tourmaline, schorl, is the most common tourmaline and can sometimes measure up to 2 m high. Its composition very rich in iron gives it this black, opaque and intense appearance. We can emphasize that it is the only type of tourmaline with a uniform color.

Thus, schorl, a mineral species of tourmaline, belongs to the group of silicates, subgroup of cyclosilicates. The name "schorl" comes from German. It has a vitreous luster, with a conchoidal fracture, its line is white. It is a mineral from metamorphic rocks, leucogranites and pegmatites.

Like all tourmalines, schorl is composed of a complex silicate of boron, sodium, and aluminum and has a hardness of 7 to 7.5 on the Mohs scale. Its crystal system is rhombohedral. Schorl or black tourmaline occurs as elongated prismatic crystals, well formed and striated in the elongation or as small aggregates of small crystals.
