Black Tourmaline on Tourmalinated Quartz – Pakistan Mineral Specimen

Protection meets clarity in one stunning natural piece! This black tourmaline on tourmalinated quartz specimen from Pakistan features a thick, deeply striated black tourmaline crystal resting on a chunk of glassy clear-to-smoky quartz. Look closely and you'll see fine black tourmaline needles shooting through the quartz like pencil strokes, with sprays of tiny crystals and touches of white and honey-colored feldspar along the edges.

One of a kind — you will receive the exact specimen shown in the photos.

About Tourmalinated Quartz: Tourmalinated quartz forms when black tourmaline (schorl) crystals grow first and are then surrounded by quartz, trapping the slender black needles inside. Specimens that also include a large, fully exposed tourmaline crystal, like this one, show both stages of growth side by side — a natural record of how these two minerals formed together in granite pegmatites. The mountains of northern Pakistan are famous for producing striking tourmaline and quartz specimens like this.
