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.
