Smoky Quartz Pegmatite with Black Tourmaline from St. Mary's Mountain
Bring home a unique piece of the Kimberley, British Columbia mountain landscape with this impressive natural smoky quartz pegmatite specimen from the St. Mary's Mountain area.
This substantial stone features a striking dark black base with natural smoky quartz and beautiful black tourmaline inclusions running throughout the matrix. The contrast between the dark host rock, smoky quartz, and deep black tourmaline with deep green Mica crystals creates a bold natural appearance that changes as you look at the specimen from different angles.
The black tourmaline gives this piece an especially interesting character, also the green mica brings out a cool flash within the stone with natural crystal inclusions visible within the stone. Combined with the smoky quartz and pegmatite matrix, it makes a fantastic specimen for collectors who appreciate the raw geological character of southeastern British Columbia.
At approximately 8.4 lbs, this is a large and substantial display specimen. Standing about 7.5 inches tall, it has a natural presence that would look great displayed on a shelf, desk, mineral cabinet, or as the centerpiece of a personal rock collection.
