Item Description

A STUNNING cluster of schorl crystals aesthetically attached to a small field of quartz crystals from the Erongo. This is one of the loveliest schorl specimens I have come across. The short prismatic crystals are beautiful jet-black with striking luster. The crystals faces, very interestingly, are either very well striated, have mirror finish or have stepped growth! Very unusual! The large crowning crystal is 4.5 cm. You rarely see them in such nice aggregation...Usually they are loners, or in ugly clusters, and not showing so much form individually. NO REPAIRS!!! It is NOT a typical schorl and looks great from either side. Valued at $900
