Two cute schorl crystals, jet black, and beautiful for it. These are complete all around and well temrinated on their tops. One crystal shows a dislocation-offset, caused by pocket movement during the crystal growth. The effect is that the little portion atop looks like a top hat, being lifted up. Very cute set! Dimensions are for larger crystal, as given
