Item Description

The photos do justice to this dramatic combination piece. The largest Schorl is 8.1 cm, and both it and the sidecar have excellent, striated luster and the well-known Mercedes terminations. The single white Felspar crystal is well-formed and has excellent luster on the faces. Together, these form an aesthetic combination from the pegmatites high in the Pakistani mountains. Note this loosk to be repaired near the bottom, but displays well.
