Item Description

A predominant, sharp, lustrous, prismatic, striated jet black Schorl Tourmaline crystal measuring 5.0 cm long is jutting off of a blocky porcelain-esque cream colored Microcline crystal with minor "rosettes" of Albite (var: Cleavelandite). Good quality all around with no damage on the display side (minor roughness on the back). Aesthetic and eye-catching for a black and white combo piece! Ex Paul Otto collection.
