Lattice Quartz with Schorl (Black Tourmaline) from Erongo, Namibia
A beautiful lattice quartz specimen with schorl (black tourmaline) from Erongo, Namibia! Lattice quartz is an unusual quartz formation found in one specific area of Namibia and gets its unique shape from interlocking quartz crystals that form around feldspar. It is often confused with Brazil law twinning and is super funky. This pieces has a fantastic split presentation with one side showing the interlocking quartz growth and the other covered in tiny black tourmaline crystals.

Hey! i was wondering what the grey substance is in some of your photos that you use to hold stones to their bases? amazing pieces btw!!
Hello! I use mineral tack to stick the pieces to the stands for pictures. If you decide to use it, make sure not to get the blu tack or museum putty because they are hard to remove from the minerals and don't work as well. Some people use hot glue to stick minerals to bases if they're going to be displayed long-term.

Fluorite from Taraba State, Nigeria
This piece (along with everything else we post here) is completely natural and unpolished. The intense blue coloration you see in the picture is caused by daylight fluorescence. This fluorite changes color in the sun! It is dark purple in indoor lighting and turns a vibrant blue in sunlight.
