Pink Tourmaline Crystal – 5.7g Paprok Mine Afghanistan – Large Gemmy Collector Specimen

Product Description

A striking natural pink Tourmaline crystal weighing 5.7 grams (28.5 carats) from the renowned Paprok Mine area of Nuristan, Afghanistan.

This elongated crystal displays an exceptionally attractive saturated raspberry-pink to vivid rose-pink color, becoming brilliantly illuminated when viewed in sunlight. The crystal retains its natural prismatic form with pronounced longitudinal striations running along the length of the specimen.

What makes this piece particularly appealing is the combination of its substantial size, strong pink coloration and impressive translucency. Light penetrates deeply through much of the crystal, producing vivid flashes of hot pink and red-pink while still revealing the natural internal growth features.

The termination shows natural surface character and minor edge wear/contact rather than being perfectly pristine, which should be visible in the photographs. Despite this, the overall crystal form is excellent and the color is the primary attraction.

At nearly 30 carats, this is a substantial individual Paprok Tourmaline crystal and an impressive display specimen from one of Afghanistan's most famous gem-producing regions.
