Schorl, Orthoclase, Quartz, and Muscovite from Megiliggar Rocks, Breage, Cornwall

Nice British specimen from a well known locale, famed amongst mineral collectors.

Black schorl Tourmaline in an Orthoclase and Quartz matrix with minor Muscovite.

The site is a SSSI and no collecting is allowed.

The site produces a range of minerals, but this 'stripy rock' is one of the best known from the locale.
