Item Description
Foitite is a rare tourmaline group species discovered in 1993. It is very rare from the Erongo Mountains in this quality. This is a striking, complete all-around and pristine specimen of highly lustrous, black to brown, diverging, parallel-growth clusters of columnar foitite crystals. The triangular termination is matte-gray. The architecture is very nifty on this showy piece. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
