Green Cap Tourmaline with Quartz & Feldspar – Stak Nala Pakistan Mineral Specimen - 351g

Product Description

Exceptional natural Green Cap Tourmaline mineral specimen from the famous Stak Nala locality of northern Pakistan, featuring multiple dark green to black Tourmaline crystals surrounded by substantial Quartz and pale Feldspar-rich matrix.

The centerpiece is a beautifully formed prismatic Tourmaline crystal displaying the classic color zoning associated with Stak Nala material. Its body transitions from extremely dark green to a rich translucent green near the termination, with strong natural vertical striations and a sharply defined termination. Direct light reveals considerably more green coloration than is visible under normal indoor lighting.

Numerous additional Tourmaline crystals occur throughout the specimen. Some appear almost black until illuminated, while others display pale to medium green areas where they emerge through the surrounding Quartz and Feldspar. Several crystals are partially enclosed by the matrix, creating an especially interesting three-dimensional pegmatite specimen.

Large translucent to milky Quartz crystals provide dramatic contrast with the dark Tourmaline. Pale cream to white Feldspar-rich material adds additional texture and gives the specimen the classic appearance associated with mineral specimens from the Stak Nala pegmatites.

At 351 grams, this is a substantial collector specimen with excellent visual contrast, multiple Tourmaline crystals and an especially attractive prominent green-cap crystal.
