Dravite Tourmaline

Item Description

A sharp, lustrous and well-formed prismatic, doubly-terminated bronze colored trigonal Tourmaline crystal (Dravite) from Yinnietharra in Western Australia. Not terribly common on the market anymore, and specimens from this locality are arguably the most famous Tourmalines from Australia. The piece is essentially a "floater" as it doesn't necessarily have a point of attachment, though there are a few tiny nicks here and there. The best part for me is that the piece shows gorgeous honey-gold color when backlit.
