Terminated Schorl on Clevelandite & Smoky Quartz
A commanding mineral specimen featuring a large terminated schorl tourmaline crystal on clevelandite, naturally grown into smoky quartz from the historic Little 3 Mine.
This substantial piece holds particular significance in Little 3’s modern mining history, originating from the mine’s first pocket discovery in 2022, named the Gregory Pocket. The dramatic dark schorl termination creates a striking contrast against the lighter clevelandite and smoky quartz, showcasing the complex mineral formations found within the mine.
Weighing nearly a pound and a half, its impressive scale, natural crystal relationships, and documented pocket provenance make this an exceptional statement specimen for a serious mineral collection.
