A towering cluster of black schorl is aesthetically set on a piece of rock matrix which is in this extent very unusual for Alpine clefts! The needle thin tourmalines are three-dimensionally arranged along a zentral spine and rise arond 4.5 cm from the matrix. The condition is virtually flawless. A remarkable piece of Alpine tourmaline!
A rutile on matrix from the Grieswies area from a find in 1997. The piece has a total size of 10 cm with individual crystals up to a good 1 cm in length. The matrix is a natural piece of schist with fine growth of calcite, muscovite and rutile microcrystals. On top of it sits a group of rutile crystals with very good luster and bright red color, which becomes visible along the surface at direct illumination. As can be seen in the images, two of the crystals are knee twins. The piece is in excellent condition overall. Some of the crystals look damaged at first glance, but in reality they are all crystallized and undamaged. A very good piece with natural charm!
It's a complete floater, all around crystallized with fine mica, feldspar and rutile crystals. Atop this floater specimen are several dominant quartz crystals, the largest of which is 5.8 cm long, flawless and of best glassy quality. If you like specimens with a unique natural flair and in unharmed condition, this might be for you!
It's a brilliant composition of three crystals in perfectly flawless condition and with superb quality!
The smoky color is present but not too strong. All three crystals are limpid, highly lustrous and sharp.
There is no damage whatsoever!
Our video nicely shows the superb quality and beautiful composition!
