Quartz Crystal Cluster with Black Tourmaline – Skardu Pakistan Collector Mineral Specimen - 225g

Product Description

This impressive 225g natural mineral specimen from Skardu, Pakistan features a dramatic combination of large Quartz crystals and contrasting Black Tourmaline.

The specimen is dominated by several substantial clear to translucent Quartz crystals arranged in a highly three-dimensional formation. Black Tourmaline occurs throughout the piece as deeply striated prismatic crystals, smaller blades, and dark crystals positioned between and alongside the Quartz.

One of the most attractive features is the way the Tourmaline is naturally incorporated throughout the Quartz formation rather than appearing as a single isolated crystal. Several prominent black prisms project outward from the specimen, while additional Tourmaline can be seen partially enclosed within the Quartz.

The Quartz shows excellent brilliance in strong light, with natural internal veils, fractures, inclusions, and reflective surfaces creating considerable sparkle. The combination of bright Quartz and lustrous black Tourmaline gives this specimen excellent contrast and strong display presence.

Natural contacts, inclusions, internal fractures, and incomplete crystal areas are visible throughout the specimen.
