I was told it was tourmaline. Where'd you find this nice specimen? smiles, ladybug 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theksmith 1,355 Posted March 20, 2020 thanks guys! after looking at some more photos on The Google, i'm pretty sure it's Schorl, AKA Black Tourmaline... apparently it makes a great "psychic shield deflecting and dispelling negative energies, entities, or destructive forces" i found that rock not too far from the Ft Tule area (Lake Pleasant), there's a few flakes of Mica in there as well: 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
