Description

One of the most classic combinations to come from the Shigar valley of Pakistan, Schorl and albite is a combo owned by both new and experienced collectors alike. Due to its abundance, it takes a unique specimen to stand out from the rest. This means flawless crystals, large sizes and a highly aesthetic formation. This specimen has it all. It has the highly desirable quality of a single, well formed Schorl growing prominently and centrally from a cluster of undamaged albite var cleavelandite. In addition, it has distinct and well formed crystals of Mica growing from the Schorl, providing an interesting contrast of beige against the classic black/white color scheme. The blades of cleavelandite are tightly packed, giving the impression of icing from a cake. That appearance, combined with the Schorl "cherry on top" and Mica "sprinkles" make this a standout example from this locality.
