Item Description

A showy combination specimen. A highly lustrous, striated, jet-black, trigonal schorl crystal has an interesting etched termination. The fine association cluster includes a sharp, hexagonal, light lilac, 1.2 cm apatite crystal and a glassy quartz crystal with the albite/cleavelandite. Complete all-around. The presentation view is pristine, with the contacting on the back of the schorl being out-of-sight. Classic and excellent combination material from this less well-known locale from the Herb Obodda dealer stock.
