Mwajanga, near Komolo, Tanzania
Thumbnail - 2.8 x 1.6 x 1.4 cm
Transparent to translucent, rootbeer colored Dravite crystal with a very sharp change to white, cat's-eye Dravite.

Mwajanga, near Komolo, Tanzania
Miniature - 3.5 x 1.2 x 0.8 cm
Transparent to translucent, rootbeer colored Dravite crystal with a very sharp change to white, cat's-eye Dravite. These part rootbeer/part cat's-eye crystals are much less common than normal crystals from the find, and crystals with such a sharp delineation between the two even more so. This crystal also features a natural bend which sometimes occurs in Tourmaline crystals due to fracturing and rehealing in the pegmatite pocket. Weighs 7.6 grams.
