Item Description

A lovely Schorl / Quartz association specimen from a much less known Pakistan locale - Bulochi. This specimen features sharply terminated black Schorl crystals with fairly good luster which complements the well-striated sides. Additionally the sharp, lustrous, GEM quality Quartz crystals make for such an interesting contrast. A surrounding ring of Albite var: "Cleavelandite" "rosettes" can be seen around the base of the piece as well. This is a GOOD Schorl, and a nice respite from the plethora of Namibian Schorls on the market right now, don't miss out. Ex. Herb Obodda specimen, priced at $850.
