The feldspar is very well formed and creates a lovely base for the schorl and aquamarine to contrast against. Several robust schorl crystals and a sprinkling of smaller crystals pop off the entire feldspar surface. Both of the aquamarine crystals (2.5cm and 5cm) rise out of schorl clusters with the larger of the two aquas sporting a penetrating schorl that interrupted the aquas horizontal growth.
