Black ONYX vs. Black OBSIDIAN vs. Black TOURMALINE

But using a digital scale, black TOURMALINE is heavier than black ONYX (if you weigh onyx & tourmaline bracelets with same bead size and number of beads). Black ONYX is usually perfect while black TOURMALINE may sometimes have tiny or hairlike fissure or crevice since it’s more brittle. TOURMALINE is also more expensive since it is sold per gram. It’s also important to ask for the seller’s “return policy” to keep you protected.
