A 4.5cm black Schorl crystal atop a well formed, terminated Feldspar crystal with attached Quartz. I love big, well formed Orthoclase crystals, but they don't typically make great specimens on their own. The well positioned Schorl makes this a good display quality specimen of two relatively common species. The piece is a floater too, having detached in the pocket and rehealed on the back and bottom, as evidenced by a double terminated Quartz crystal attached to the bottom. Large showy specimen, much better than photos.
