This striking specimen features a remarkable schorl tourmaline crystal from Pakistan, measuring an impressive 14.5 cm in length. The Schorl tourmaline, known for its rich, deep black color, presents an outstanding visual contrast against the snowy white albite matrix that accompanies it. The schorl robust, elongated form showcases sharp, well-defined edges and facets, highlighting the crystal’s natural geometric perfection and enhancing its visual appeal.

The surface of the Schorl is lustrous. The black tourmaline stands out dramatically against the bright, stark white albite, which forms a frosted, snow-like matrix around the Schorl. The albite is grown along the sides of the Schorl, at the bottom creating a stunning contrast that accentuates the depth of the tourmaline’s color.

The overall formation is exceptionally well-preserved, with the Schorl tourmaline showing no visible damage or interruptions to its smooth, polished surface. From the front, the crystal presents an awe-inspiring sight: the geometric lines of the Schorl are impeccably aligned, and the juxtaposition of the deep black against the brilliant white albite enhances the visual impact of the piece. This combination of vibrant color contrasts and pristine crystal shape makes this Schorl tourmaline a truly magnificent specimen, capturing both the elegance and complexity of mineral beauty.
