N2412 Quartz, Fluorite on Schorl Tourmaline
Erongo Mountain, Erongo Region, Namibia
14.2x 9.8x 8.9 cm
$695

A nice example of schorl tourmaline, quartz, and fluorite from Erongo.  This one displays quite nicely, with a pillar-like schorl crystal standing straight up put of a quartz cluster. The schorl has a green fluorite clinging to its side. 

It is interesting to note the difference in appearance between this schorl, and the ones from Rondeklip that have become more common over the last couple years-- not only is it more elongated but it also has a fibrous termination. Some will obviously come off during shipment, but ill do my best to minimize the degree of its haircut. But, DO NOT TOUCH IT. It hurts like hell. I still have some of this stuck in my finger from when I was running around buying rocks in Namibia a few weeks ago!
