Item Description

A three-dimensional and aesthetic display piece featuring a 5.5 cm long Schorl crystal that is beautifully set between a pair of off-white colored prismatic Feldspar crystals which measure up to 4.3 cm. The label refers to these Feldspars as Orthoclase, but they could very well be Microcline. The Schorl crystal is undamaged as far as I can see with the naked eye, and has excellent form, luster and that classic basal termination. If you collect Tourmalines or minerals from Erongo, this is a showy specimen with great arrangement and form that would make a great addition to your collection. Priced in the inventory at $750. From the Collection of Shields Flynn.
