Schorl Black Tourmaline with Albite Matrix - Skardu, Pakistan

Presenting a fine, classic mineral association piece from the Himalayas, weighing a precise 48.9 Grams (equivalent to 244.5 Carats). This specimen features one or more prominent crystals of Black Tourmaline (Schorl) securely embedded in a matrix of crystalline Albite (a variety of Feldspar).

Sourced from the prestigious mineral district of Skardu, Pakistan, this specimen is highly valued for its dramatic, natural contrast. The jet-black, prismatic Schorl stands out boldly against the light, often white or cream-colored, crystalline Albite matrix. This is a perfect example of a desirable pegmatite combination piece.

This specimen is an excellent cabinet miniature size, measuring 42 x 54 x 38 mm.
