Crystal morphology of coloured tourmaline crystals from two veins of the place «Glavniy» of Zavitinskoe pegmatite field (Transbaikalien) is described. 22 simple forms including 12 new ones which have not been mentioned before for this field are revealed. It is found that in some cases for one of the veins dytrigon pyramid {022̄1} can act as a habit form, quite often observed as a minor face. On crystals from the other vein very rare dytrigon pyramid m {2̄75̄5} appeared to be of a habit form.
