Item Description
A sculptural and unusual mounded cluster of schorl crystals from recent finds in Namibia. The jet-black schorls, to about 1.7 cm, have highly lustrous to matte-finish faces due to weird preferential etching of the crystals. It's quite hard to tell from the etching, but this appears to a pristine floater specimen. It really does have an innumerable number of display possibilities. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON.
