Description
Good schorls are quite familiar from Erongo, but what makes this specimen interesting is the sharp, euhedral crystals of feldspar that accent the fine schorl here. Feldspar is often associated with these schorls, but not in this sharpness and quality, making this a very "different" Erongo specimen.
