Would like to see some larger images. Its hard to make out the quality of the specimen from those tiny images. What makes you think the crystals are dravite rather than black schorl tourmaline? Have they been xrayed? How many of them do you have? Are they abundant?

This might be dravite from Nepal. Fairly common; only the very best doubly terminated crystals have value of more than maybe 20 dollars.
