A towering 1.9 kg specimen that looks like something out of a fantasy world. The deeply striated black schorl rises in dark spires like a tower from Mordor, and the ribbed columns recall the soaring pillars of the Sagrada Família basilica. A sweep of water-clear and icy quartz crystals grows from one shoulder, so the black-and-white contrast looks different from every side. Etched with razor-fine grooves and mirror-bright triangular facets, its surface looks otherworldly, like the terrain of a distant dark planet. Sourced directly from the miners in northern Pakistan by our family. 5% of every sale goes to the miners’ safety and well-being. Free shipping worldwide.
