Foitite on Schorl (Charlie Key Coll.)

Item Description

An aesthetic and uncommon tourmaline combination from Erongo Mountain and the Charlie Key Collection. The aesthetically intergrown blocky schorls have both highly lustrous and more matte-finish prism faces. The top 3-5 mm of the terminations are probably composed of typical small rod-like crystals of foitite, a rare member of the Tourmaline Group. Correct identification is only possible by suitable analytical methods. Complete all-around and pristine. The side car adds pizzazz to this fine 360-degree specimen. Rare and excellent tourmaline.
