Unusual and very attractive Schorl of considerable size (over 11 cm) and excellent luster. What makes it so unusual are the terminations. The top has a beautiful complex tiered termination, while towards the base the crystal splays into dozens of small tips (characteristic of the tourmaline species FOITITE, though I haven't analyzed this piece). Not your normal Schorl - this one is very distinctive! Much better in person. 168 grams.
