Here's an excellent "velvet bush" like cluster of Dravite on a Quartz crusted rock from the Guadalupana mine, formerly known as the "blue sky prospect". You normally see smaller clusters grouped together, not a nearly 360 degree "bush". These have been historically labeled as Schorl, which testing has proved incorrect (they are Dravites).
The "blue sky prospect" is one of those goofy Tourmaline localities that any serious Tourmaline collector needs to have on their radar due to how unique it is.
