Black Tourmaline on Quartz - Skardu Pakistan - 95g - 5.5x5x5 cm

This exceptional specimen features a bold black tourmaline (schorl) crystal beautifully embedded within transparent quartz. The sharply striated tourmaline rises through the quartz matrix, displaying superb luster and contrast. Fine white crystal growth along the faces enhances the overall composition, creating a natural balance of light and dark tones.

The piece captures the elegance of pegmatite mineral formation — where dark, lustrous tourmaline crystals intersect with clear quartz growth in perfect geometry. Its balance, texture, and natural contrast make it a standout display specimen for any serious mineral collection.

Collected from the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan, this specimen represents the high-quality tourmaline–quartz combinations for which the area is renowned. Entirely natural and hand-selected, it reflects the region’s signature pegmatite beauty and structural precision.
