No damage except to any of the major Microcline crystals on the piece. The single Quartz crystal has some exsolution but it does not detract (the quartz crystal is the least conspicuous item on the specimen).

Size of largest Schorl crystal - 15 x 1 x 1 mm.
Size of largest Quartz crystal - 22 x 15 x 12 mm.
A classic specimen, from a world-famous locality, from the equally famous Charlie Key Collection!
