The jet-black Schorl Tourmaline exhibits sharp, well-defined prismatic faces with vertical striations, creating a striking contrast against the pearly, snow-white Albite matrix. Accompanying the Schorl are Smoky Quartz crystals, which add a subtle, translucent brown hue to the composition, enhancing its visual depth.
