Item Description
A fine quality, GEMMY Dravite Tourmaline crystal from the lesser-known Landanai locality in Tanzania. The crystal features incredibly rich warm hues ranging from a deep orange to more of a honey-gold color near the top. Every side of the crystal has excellent luster, and the defined striations on the prism make for a nice contrast against the smooth brilliant pyramidal faces on the termination. The entire crystal is transparent, and virtually water-clear in areas. It needs backlighting to see the color, but this particular hue is rarely seen in Tourmaline, and to find a GEM CRYSTAL with this color is certainly a big deal. There are a few small nicks, but overall the piece is in very good condition. The piece weighs 15.7 grams. Priced in the inventory at $1,850.
