Item Description

Schorls can be excellent specimens in their own right, and the skeletal clusters from Erongo have proven to be highly aesthetic, and highly desirable. The multitude of Schorl crystals here all have superb luster, and long, prismatic habit. The terminations are excellent, and the only imperfections are dustings of what must be micro Orthoclase. The central spire here is about 5 cm long, with many crystals in the 1 cm range. Very attractive.
