This Schorl black tourmaline from the famed Erongo Mountains in Namibia is a fascinating specimen for the serious mineral collector. While not the most visually striking piece, it holds great geological value, showcasing the characteristic striated crystal habit of Schorl embedded in a feldspar matrix. The Erongo Mountains are renowned for their rich pegmatite deposits, and this specimen provides a tangible connection to the complex geological forces that shaped this mineral-rich region.
The interplay between the dark, lustrous tourmaline and the lighter feldspar highlights the natural contrast often seen in Erongo specimens. Despite its rugged appearance, this piece offers an authentic representation of tourmaline’s natural formation process, making it a valuable addition to any collection that prioritizes mineralogical significance over aesthetics. A must-have for collectors who appreciate the raw, untamed beauty of nature’s geological artistry.
