DT Dravite Tourmaline (rare locale) Joe Lobell Coll.

Item Description

Dravite is RARE from this obscure Paraiba State pegmatite. This is a sharp, highly lustrous, doubly terminated, jet-black trigonal crystal with scattered flashes of golden-yellow color. The side car on one side adds pizzazz. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a few small side and edge bruises. The basal termination is contacted, with just a bit of bruising. Rare and excellent tourmaline from the Ted Bartels Collection.
