Description: Lustrous black schorl crystals on feldspar. This piece was given to me by a childhood acquaintance that I reconnected with after 50+ years at the most recent Tucson Show. What a surprise - thanks Kevin! Because of the contrast, it was a difficult specimen to photograph and retain detail in the feldspar as well as the schorl.
