386g Mint Green Tourmaline with Albite & Lepidolite – Nuristan Afghanistan Mineral Specimen

Product Description

An impressive 386-gram natural Green Tourmaline specimen from Nuristan, Afghanistan, featuring an exceptional concentration of mint to seafoam-green Tourmaline crystals across a contrasting Albite and Lepidolite matrix.

The remarkable feature of this specimen is the sheer abundance of Tourmaline. Green crystals cover much of the display surface, ranging from smaller prismatic crystals and intergrown clusters to several substantial, thick Tourmaline crystals. The coloration varies naturally from delicate mint-green to richer medium green, with attractive translucency, luster and pronounced vertical crystal striations visible throughout.

The Tourmaline is beautifully contrasted by creamy-white Albite and areas of soft lavender Lepidolite. Together, the green, white and lavender minerals create a highly attractive natural pegmatite association with excellent texture and three-dimensional character.

At 386 grams, this is a substantial cabinet-size specimen with excellent visual presence. Natural contacts and incomplete crystal areas are visible throughout, while the extraordinary amount of green Tourmaline and attractive color make this an especially eye-catching collector specimen.
