Description from the seller
This lot contains seven natural black tourmaline (schorl) specimens associated with quartz-rich matrix. The crystals display the typical elongated prismatic crystal habit with strong vertical striations, characteristic of tourmaline minerals.
The specimens show an attractive contrast between the dark black tourmaline crystals and the light-colored quartz matrix, creating visually appealing mineral combinations.
Some pieces display well-formed crystal terminations and good crystal luster, while others show natural growth patterns embedded within the host rock.
Black tourmaline is a widely appreciated mineral among collectors due to its distinct crystal structure and classic mineral association with quartz and feldspar.
The lot includes a selection of medium and smaller cabinet specimens, suitable for mineral collectors and display.
All specimens are natural and untreated.
