This exceptional Black Tourmaline cluster from the famous Erongo Mountains in Namibia showcases well-defined, prismatic crystal formations with striking radial growth. The interlocking, jet-black tourmaline blades exhibit characteristic vertical striations, adding depth and texture to the specimen.
The complex crystal arrangement of this cluster speaks to the dynamic geological processes within the Erongo pegmatites. The parallel and cross-growing terminations create a visually appealing three-dimensional structure, making it an excellent display piece. The luster ranges from matte to subtly reflective, emphasizing the natural variation in crystal habit.
Erongo remains one of the world’s premier sources for Black Tourmaline, known for its pristine formation and mineralogical diversity. This specimen is a must-have for collectors seeking an aesthetic and structurally intriguing example from this iconic locality.
