Item Description

Dravite might not be the most popular member of the Tourmaline Group for people who want flashy crystals, but they are one of the more uncommon Tourmaline group varietals and they have amazing crystal structure! Also, they can be huge and dramatic from this locality, like this 791 gram leviathan! This big, old-timer from Australia displays a rich coffee-bronze color and it has fine, sharp faces, good luster, and it's doubly terminated. The three broad prism faces have recessed areas from skeletal growth that display negative growth forms which is very unusual for these and adds tremendous character. It is in absolutely excellent condition with only one barely perceptible ding on one corner. This is a commanding and attractive Dravite!
