513g Pale Green Tourmaline with Quartz, Albite & Lavender Lepidolite – Large Kunar Afghanistan Mineral Specimen

Product Description

An exceptional 513-gram cabinet-size mineral specimen from Kunar Province, Afghanistan, featuring pale mint-green Tourmaline crystals across a beautiful lavender Lepidolite matrix with white Albite and a prominent natural Quartz crystal.

The standout feature is the large, sharply formed Quartz crystal rising dramatically from the matrix, giving the specimen an impressive three-dimensional composition. Across the lavender Lepidolite are numerous naturally occurring pale green Tourmaline crystals ranging from tiny crystals and crystal clusters to several larger elongated prisms. Their delicate mint coloration contrasts beautifully against the soft purple Lepidolite.

White to translucent Albite adds additional texture and brightness throughout the specimen, while the combination of Quartz, Tourmaline, Albite and Lepidolite creates the classic complex pegmatite mineral association for which this region of Afghanistan is renowned.

At 513 grams, this is a substantial display specimen rather than a small thumbnail or miniature. The large Quartz crystal, extensive lavender Lepidolite and widespread Tourmaline crystallization give the piece excellent visual interest from multiple viewing angles.
