This obscure locality has produced incredible Dravite specimens over the past 5-10 years. Most are shades of brown to greenish
grey, but yellows, pinks, and blues have been found. This crystal features a brown base with a yellow zone at the termination. Occasionally Tourmaline
crystals will fracture and reheal naturally during growth, resulting in bent crystals. This crystal is such an example, with a significant
and obvious bend near the base.
