Item Description
A dramatic and imposing, large, 360-degree parallel-growth cluster of doubly terminated dravite crystals from the world's finest locality. The lustrous, rich chocolate-brown crystals have nifty areas of golden-amber color under bright light and the embedded fields of pearlescent muscovite plates add pizzazz. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only trivial side wear and a bit of mostly out-of-sight contacting at the base. Unsurpassed from the 1970s finds. Seldom available material in this size and quality. Hefty at 2026 grams or 4.5 pounds mass. Valued at $2000
