Item Description

An uncommon and striking combination specimen from Pakistan. A glassy, doubly terminated quartz crystal is very richly included with schorl, turning the crystal black. Very aesthetically attached to the quartz are doubly terminated schorl crystals. The middle DT schorl impales the quartz crystal! The terminations are sharp, or may be broken and healed. This is a near floater specimen, with only the area of white cleavelandite being the point of attachment. Dramatic and unusual material from this noted locale. Rarely on the market in this quality.
