Schorl and Quartz (Meieran Coll.)

Item Description

Schorl is the black species of the tourmaline group, to be honest not usually our favorite...but this specimen has some special things going for it that make it a LOT more desirable than most schorl tourmalines, for its overall shape and aesthetics. The schorl is perfect, miraculously NOT damaged or repaired despite its elegant look. Also, it is doubly-terminated and is itself perched on a doubly-terminated Quartz, so that the whole thing is a floater, complete all around and 360 degrees. This is, overall, a study in contrasts where you have such different shapes and colors growing in and out of each other, and yet all perfect and complete. What a combo! Gene Meieran's collection is noted for such combination pieces, in fact, and this is another world class example. The size is good, and the aesthetics are special. Valued $7500-9500.
