Item Description

Large doubly terminated dravite tourmalines of this exceptional quality are RARE from this obscure pegmatite in Paraiba State. The very sharp, highly lustrous, jet-black, trigonal crystal is enhanced by the starkly contrasting embedded white feldspar. Complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only two minor spots of edge wear. An impressive, large single dravite crystal from the Bob Trimingham Collection. 1037 grams or 2.3 pounds mass. A MUST for the species or locality collector.
