Description from the seller

Description:

A highly aesthetic, sculptural specimen featuring a large black schorl tourmaline crystal with a dramatic "stacked" or "pagoda" growth habit. The tourmaline is composed of hundreds of lustrous, parallel sub-crystals that create a stepped, geometric tower effect with intense metallic luster. The surface catches light from every angle. A sharp, gemmy red spessartine garnet crystal is perfectly perched on the face of the tourmaline — a rare and desirable association.
