Tourmaline Specimen - 456g

$360.00

Green Tourmaline Crystal Cluster from Afghanistan

An unusual 456-gram Green Tourmaline specimen from Afghanistan featuring numerous delicate mint-green crystals distributed across a sparkling pale mineral matrix.

Rather than a single dominant crystal, this specimen is especially appealing for its abundance of Green Tourmaline crystals. Crystals occur in groups across multiple areas of the matrix, ranging from small delicate growths to larger elongated crystals with visible natural striations. Their soft pastel green coloration contrasts beautifully against the white-to-lavender-gray matrix.

The specimen is highly three-dimensional and rewards close viewing, with new Tourmaline crystals becoming visible as the piece is rotated. It represents a very different style of Afghan Tourmaline specimen from the large isolated gem crystals more commonly emphasized by collectors.
