The Davib Ost Farm 61 at Karibib, in the Erongo Region of Namibia, has become famous for its numerous finely crystals pegmatite minerals, one of these being Schorl, the iron-rich Tourmaline member. Beautifully crystallised, near-equant Schorl crystals are aesthetically individually scattered over a matrix of pure snowy white Feldspar matrix, formed as parallel aligned platy crystals for a perfectly contrasting background. The Schorl prisms measure up to 2 cm across and are all double terminated with a superb glassy lustre. A splendid example of well crystallised Schorl from Erongo.
