Description

Very rare Dravite from Slovenia! The faces are very glossy, they show a really attractive texture. The translucency is very good - the photos were done on the daylight, you can see the intense brownish colour even without any backlight. The endpoint is not damaged, it was contacted and developed uncountable tiny stepped faces. Bottom was on the rock.
