| 10004: Dravite - $150 Raikot, Chilas, Diamer District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan Large cabinet - 15.4 x 2.6 x 1.4 cm 96 grams Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order A well-terminated, glassy, dark brown
dravite crystal, mostly opaque but with some translucency
towards the termination. Minor quartz near the
nonterminated end. Most tourmaline species cannot be
assigned visually but the label of previous dealer - very
knowledgeable in Pakistan minerals - labels this as
dravite. The color is consistent with this assignment as
well. The aforementioned previous dealer label carries a
$675 price tag. Incomplete where removed from matrix (at
the narrow base) otherwise this fine tourmaline wand is in
superb condition.
