Now that I have access to the animations I can bring all my silliest ideas to life (no sound)

The Schorl pikmin model was a birthday gift from @starryeyedess <3

Black Tourmaline (Schorl) — one of the most geometrically striking varieties of the tourmaline group. Tourmaline itself is a complex boro-silicate, and schorl is its iron-rich end member: Na(Fe²⁺)₃Al₆(BO₃)₃Si₆O₁₈(OH)₄. The black crystals are prismatic, striated lengthwise, and often terminate in trigonal pyramids.

This Namibian specimen forms an X-shape — two crystals interpenetrating at an angle, a natural expression of the hexagonal crystal system’s threefold symmetry.

Why collectors love schorl:

• Piezoelectric and pyroelectric — it generates electric charge under pressure or temperature change

• Pegmatite-formed — grows slowly in boron-rich granite melts

• Universally associated with “grounding” energy in metaphysical circles

• Perfectly paired with smoky quartz and feldspar in raw matrix

Schorl is the most common tourmaline on Earth, but quality aesthetic clusters like this one — sharp, glossy, undamaged — are surprisingly rare.

There is one aquamarine crystal on this black tourmaline & cleavelandite specimen. I didn’t notice it until today.
