Schorl from Namibia – Black as night, sharp as a diamond 

This schorl tourmaline from the Erongo Mountains in Namibia is a prime example of the extraordinary mineral diversity found in this legendary region. The single crystal impresses with its imposing size, razor-sharp edges, and perfectly formed prism faces with characteristic growth striations—a testament to slow, undisturbed crystal growth over a very long period of time.

 

Origin & Geology – The Erongo Mountains, Namibia’s most mineral-rich mountain range 

The Erongo Mountains in central Namibia are among the world’s most significant mineral deposits. For decades, the pegmatites there have yielded world-class specimens of a wide variety of minerals—including aquamarine, fluorite, and, time and again, spectacular schorl tourmaline crystals. Collectors from all over the world purchase minerals from the Erongo Mountains, as the unique geological conditions of the Erongo Pluton favor the growth of unusually large and well-formed crystals.
