A crystal or crystalline solid is a solid material whose constituents, such as atoms, molecules or ions, are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions. In addition, macroscopic single crystals are usually identifiable by their geometrical shape, consisting of flat faces with specific, characteristic orientations.
A superb specimen from the famous Sappo Mine in Brazil. There are numerous shiney Black Tourmaline Crystals mixed with many nice Schist/Mica crystals.
The Erongo seems to have some of the nicest Schorls around.
This topaz crystal is beautiful and has great clarity. The point is in great shape and is overall a great thumbnail specimen.
This is a really cool looking cluster. There are 3 crystals standing together in an almost tripod-like manner, all with perfect points.
