WOLFRAMITE, QUARTZ, MUSCOVITE
Xi Kuang Shan, Hunan Province, China
Three very shiny and lustrous, large black Wolframite crystals are standing up in a near parallel intergrowth, associated with Quartz crystals and small, pale gray color bladed Muscovite crystals. The Wolframite crystals exhibit excellent crystal form with pronounced striations on the prism faces, as well as growth hillocks on some of the faces of the crystal terminations. Several Quartz crystals are associated, to 5/8" in length. The pale gray color Muscovite crystals are hexagonal, and up to 3/8" across. The specimen has a natural flat base and stands up perfectly for display. No rock matrix. Choice specimen!
Specimen size: 1 3/4" tall, 1 7/8" wide, 1" thick at the base.
Order Item MI-1075 Price: $90.

SCHORL TOURMALINE with QUARTZ
Chacoya Mine, Huancavelica Dept., Peru
Very sharp, very shiny black terminated Schorl Tourmaline crystals almost completely cover a thin white Quartz matrix. In a few small areas, tiny Quartz crystals can be seen protruding from underneath the Schorl crystals, i.e., the Quartz matrix was originally covered with tiny colorless Quartz crystals, before the deposition of the black Schorl crystals. The Schorl crystals are predominantly standing up on edge, and are tightly intergrown, with the largest crystal measuring 5/8” across. Very nice addition to any collection of Peruvian / Bolivian minerals, or Tourmaline group collection.
