This one has so many things going for it, most importantly it's large size and good condition with only one bit of chipping along the termination. It features a dark body grading up to a translucent white zone followed by an intensly blue termination.

The other end is terminated with a more pyramidal shape and has green overgrowths. There is another small Dravite intergrown in this end.
