Uncommon intergrown cluster of 4 Chrome Tourmaline crystals, which is a chromium and vanadium rich Dravite. Complete all around with deep emerald green coloration in the upper half and a more olive green in the lower half. Fantastic color and the entire crystal is flawless to highly gemmy. Undamaged except for a small chip on a sidecar crystal (there is a bit of natural, irregular growth on one termination edge). From a spectacular pocket opened in 2016. Weighs 7.9 grams.
