Description

Glossy black tourmaline with natural pits and rough spots and the contact marks from where it was attached to matrix.

From Mindat: “The black tourmaline from this locality was historically called schorl and then iron-rich uvite. However, when the published rules of the recent IMA tourmaline nomenclature committee are followed, the correct species is dravite or uvite, often compositionally zoned with both species present in a single crystal.

The accompanying label reads “Uvite.”
