Item Description
Schorl specimens are UNKNOWN from any of the famous mines in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria. Highly lustrous, jet-black crystals are festooned on the microcrystalline, orange feldspar matrix on this dramatic large piece. The striking large schorl is 2.9 x 2.0 x 2.0 cm and is pristine. The few bruised smaller crystals have no impact on the importance of this rare and fine combination piece. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $450, five or more years ago.
