Vanadian Dravite Tourmaline$7,500.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
At 7.4 cm tall, this extremely fine single crystal of Vanadian Dravite is one of the best examples of this exceptional rare and colourful variety of Dravite - a species of tourmaline better known for brown crystals. It is from the 2015/2016 find at Nadonjukin, a small village in the northeast of Tanzania. Originally marketed as Chrome Dravite, it was not until relatively recently that the chromophore responsible for the exceptional bottle-green colour was identified to be vanadium. This substantial prismatic crystal displays an extremely well-developed three-faced pyramidal termination, with a rich gemmy bottle-green to emerald-green colour over a yellow core of Dravite. With good backlighting the intensity of colour is magnificent.
