From a surprising 2018 discovery, this is a very aesthetic example of "herringbone" style tight clusters of schorl tourmalines, forming a vertical cluster that is perched on a natural pedestal of quartz matrix. Really unusual material, and interesting tourmaline no matter what location it would be from, just for the shape.
