Schorl and Feldspar (Meieran Coll.)

Item Description

Schorl often makes for some of the most dramatic specimens when combined with other minerals for contrast, either white feldspar or blue aquamarine. This pocket from a few years ago is special for the geometry and color contrasts. I remember seeing this pocket when Gene bought a portion of it for a large piece for himself, and ended up keeping many of them (and expect smaller pieces to come in future auctions, although this is one of the best in my opinion). Recently deaccessed from the Gene Meieran collection, this specimen is a study in black and white contrasts, with glassy, lustrous, jet black schorl tourmaline crystals. Valued $1000-1250.
