Tourmaline var. Schorl
Pitcapel Quarry, Aberdeen, Grampian Region, Scotland, UK.
12cm tall x 7cm x 6cm
Large Schorl crystals with a bit of pegmatite matrix (quartz, pink feldspar and white mica). The specimen has a sawn base. I got this from a guy at the Bakewell Show this year (october), who aquired it by exchange in 2000 - not long after it was ’mined’, apparently. (Author: Mike Wood)
