Item Description
An aesthetic specimen of highly lustrous, parallel-growth schorl tourmaline dramatically accented by starkly contrasting snow-white albite. The schorl has a fine pyramidal termination. It is complete-around and is essentially pristine, with only the most trivial of termination edge wear. Schorl is relatively rare from this locale famed for beryl, elbaite and spodumene. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock and valued by Herb at $250, five or more years ago.
