Item Description

This is a beautiful and showy association specimen from the famous Shigar Valley in Pakistan featuring a 2.6 cm, sharp, lustrous, jet-black prism of Schorl Tourmaline associated with a single, 1.0 cm, tabular, gemmy, lustrous, hexagonal silvery-pink colored Fluorapatite crystal sitting atop beautiful crystals groups of silvery-beige colored Muscovite with minor white Feldspar on the reverse side. I love the orientation of the Muscovite crystals, creating a dramatically three-dimensional and showy display piece, with the Schorl and Fluorapatite crystals positioned beautifully near the front edge.
