Item Description

Exemplary cluster of three (Papa Schorl, Momma Schorl, and Baby Schorl) fabulously lustrous Schorls from the pegmatites at Dassu, Pakistan. The faces are striated, and each has the "Mercedes" trigonal termination made famous by the Erongo Schorls. The largest of these is 2.9 cm tall. The pics are good, but the piece is even better in person. Outstanding aesthetics, and with only a VERY minor amount of edgewear, this is virtually perfection in black. valued $750-1000. the luster is OUTSTANDING!
