Description
Sherlit, schorl - a variety of black tourmaline, which belongs to minerals from the group of silicates, valuable gemstones. They are characterized by the presence of sodium and ferrous iron in the crystal lattice. It is usually black, but also comes in dark green, dark blue, and bluish black. This is the most common mineral from the tourmaline group. When heated, it has a pyroelectric effect, and when applied, it has a piezoelectric pressure. Formerly used as a stone for making funeral decorations.
What is schorl and what does it consist of? It was formed as a result of the pneumatic synthesis of boron associated with granite magma. Chemical analysis shows a very diverse chemical composition of the stone: up to 44% SiO2, 44% Al2O3, 12%BO3, 36% Na2O, 36% FeO, and MnO, Cr2O3, Ti, Sn, P, Be, Cu, Ba, Cs, etc.
Origin
The most numerous stone deposits are in Germany, England, Italy, Russia (Murzinka, Ural), USA, Mexico (Santa Cruz), Brazil, Namibia, Afghanistan (Nuristan district, Langman province), India.
Tourmalines have been known for a long time, but they were only imported to Europe in 1703 by the Dutch company Ceylon and the private Dutch East India Company. These stones quickly became a collector's item and were named Ceylon magnets because they have good magnetic properties.

Compared to other colored varieties, it is inexpensive and can be found in much larger sizes.

It releases negative ions and emits infrared radiation. It is the strongest in these properties from the entire group of tourmalines. Negative ionization and infrared radiation are in the range of 760-780 nm. and 0.7 milliwatts respectively.
