Garnet & Black Tourmaline Specimen 63mm — Large Crystals

This Garnet and Black Tourmaline specimen is notable for its particularly large garnet crystals, paired with jet-black tourmaline in a compact 63mm piece from Pakistan. The dark, vertically striated tourmaline sits in sharp visual contrast against the garnet's deep red, two crystal habits growing together within the same natural matrix.

Garnet crystallises in the isometric system, usually as symmetrical dodecahedral crystals, while black tourmaline, also called schorl, forms elongated prismatic crystals with distinctive vertical striations. Seeing both develop side by side in one specimen reflects two separate mineral-forming conditions overlapping in the same rock, which is part of what makes a pairing like this genuinely uncommon.

About this specimen
