Schorl on Smoky Quartz

Item Description

An attractive association specimen featuring a 2.5 cm, trigonal prism of opaque black Schorl Tourmaline sitting on the side of a translucent, sharp, well-formed crystal of Smoky Quartz. No damage I can see, save the base where it was removed from the pocket wall.
