An nice sample from a novel schorl discovery in an area already known for its black tourmaline-- this one is a spray-like cluster of thin crystals. These come from an area a bit further away from the main Erongo workings, more on the north west. I saw a number of these clusters, but it was hard to find any with a pleasing overall shape-- most were either broken, not fully formed, or the clusters were just arranged oddly relative to each other. I only selected two and am posting them both here. This was the better, larger one.
