CW: fossicking in Cornwall
Some larger #schorl #tourmaline crystals I managed to find inside some #luxullianite. Tourmaline is recognisable by it's long prismatic 'habit', the crystals also have a tendency to change colour along their length. Big ones are valuable as gemstones and apparently they might have been used as navigational aids for #Vikings (used to detect the sun's position pre-dawn or in cloudy conditions).
