Dravite (classic material)

Item Description

A classic and not often seen matrix specimen of Dravite from the famous locality at Power's Farm, Pierrepont, New York. The piece features the well known trigonal stout crystals with the beautiful lustrous smooth faces that made these some of the most well known Tourmalines (especially opaque Tourmalines) in the world. The largest crystal measusres 2.5 cm, which is good sized for the locality, and the matrix is composed of Quartz and massive Tourmaline crystals. The main crystal has a few imperfections, but still in good condition and aesthetically set on matrix. From an old East Coast collection. Originally labeled as "Tourmaline" but I firmly believe this is a Dravite, as the vast majority of these specimens are Dravite.
