Cool Facts:
The black needles are schorl, the iron-rich and by far the commonest member of the tourmaline family.
The tourmaline crystals formed first and the quartz grew around them, sealing them in place.
Tourmaline is pyroelectric - warm a crystal and it develops an electric charge, which is why Dutch traders once used it to pull ash from their pipes.
