Muscovite on Black Tourmaline (Schorl) from Brazil

We were lucky enough to get a few specimens of this new find from Brazil. One of our import suppliers was able to provide us with a couple specimens of this heavy and fragile specimen. These are large acicular (needle like) formations of black schorl tourmaline with a growth of dark brownish to shiny silver muscovite (mica) on the matrix. This is a beautiful eye catching black and golden display. These are from the giant pegmatite field which is also known as Minas Gerais, Brazil
