Unusual flattened Dravite crystal with an irregular blotched/mottled color of brown and grey/green. The crystal also has a very short zone of cat's-eye at one end, terminated on the other end. This bizzare crystal is the only one like this I've yet seen from this relatively new deposit that produces a high percentage of oddities like this.
