SCH1 Tourmaline
var. Schorl, Albite, Topaz
Gilgit, Northern Areas,
Pakistan
12x 11x 9 cm
$875
Perhaps one
of the most abundant minerals to come from Pakistan is schorl. But
this pieces is exceptional among the literally thousands that I have
seen.
This specimen
has a huge schorl crystal , 12 cm in length
and almost 4 cm in diameter that is resting on a large albite
crystal, fully terminated, just like the schorl itself. There are a
couple small topazes to 1.5 cm around the base, as well as numerous little albite
rosettes.
This is about as good as schorl
gets, and a bargain at this price. |
