Blue capped Dravite crystal from a one-time find in 2017. The crystal has a deep blue cap, followed by a translucent white zone, over a dark but transparent base. Note that the dark area on most from this find were opaque and crystals such as this with a transparent dark zone were less than 10%. The luster on these crystals is only fair, but the blue is intensly colored and unusual for Dravite. Undamaged, complete crystal valued at $200.
