Blue capped Dravite crystal from an unusual, one time find in 2017. There is slightly translucent to opaque dark base followed by a translucent to transparent white zone, then a deep blue cap. The clear 'Achroite' zone is 1cm thick and more transparent on this crystal than most.. One side of the terminatioin is etched or possibly damaged (the tips of these are often highly etched and sometimes almost completely missing). Rare coloration for Dravite.
