This Schorl Tourmaline with Hyalite Opal is a fascinating miniature from the Erongo Mountains of Namibia. A study in contrast, it features the structural, jet-black columns of Schorl tourmaline topped with a rare "secret"—clear droplets of Hyalite Opal that explode into a vivid, neon green under UV light.
