Description:A unique "flower"-like crystal group of of rare green Uvite Tourmaline. This rich green color is caused by either Chromium or Vanadium (or possibly both). I'm told that these specimens came from a single pocket in 1997, and virtually nothing else has been seen since. The crystals on this specimen have good luster, translucency and form. When backlit, the color almost reminds me of Ludlamite from the Blackbird Mine in Idaho. Really unusual, and certainly a must have for any completionist Tourmaline collector.
