Description
A fine combination specimen from the Charlie Key dealer stock and the Erongo Mountains of Namibia. A super lustrous, 5.5 cm cluster of parallel-growth schorl crystals is sculpturally set between a sharp, horizontal-lying feldspar in the front and a euhedral feldspar crystal in the back. It is uncommon to see such sharp, euhedral feldspars associated with schorl from an Erongo specimen.
