Blue Indicolite Tourmaline - 688g

$400.00

This one is much more marketable than the current listing makes it look. That saturated blue-green material is the obvious star. Assuming the identification as Indicolite Tourmaline is correct, I would absolutely lead with Indicolite rather than generic Tourmaline.

I would also remove Magnetite from the listing unless you have a positive identification for it. I don't see enough in these photos to confidently support magnetite. Quartz + mica/albite/feldspar association is much safer.

Blue Indicolite Tourmaline on Quartz & Mica – Afghanistan

A striking 688-gram Indicolite Tourmaline specimen from Afghanistan, featuring numerous vivid blue to blue-green Tourmaline crystals dramatically distributed across a bright Quartz-rich matrix with lustrous Mica.

The Indicolite is immediately recognizable for its intense teal-blue coloration, which creates exceptional contrast against the nearly colorless Quartz and warm golden-tan Mica. Numerous Tourmaline crystals occur throughout the specimen, including concentrated crystal groups as well as smaller isolated crystals scattered across the matrix.

Unlike specimens dominated by a single Tourmaline crystal, this piece offers an entire natural crystal landscape, with Indicolite appearing from multiple viewing angles. The combination of saturated color, contrasting matrix minerals and substantial 688-gram size gives it excellent cabinet-display presence.
