This striking specimen showcases an exceptional cluster of seafoam green to blue tourmaline crystals radiating in perfect transparency and luster. The delicate, elongated prisms are intergrown with several well-formed quartz points, including a prominent smoky quartz, creating a highly aesthetic and balanced composition. Scattered among the tourmalines are soft lavender tones of lepidolite, providing a subtle, sparkling backdrop that enhances the vivid coloration of the piece.
From the world-renowned Mawi Pegmatite Field in Afghanistan, this specimen is an outstanding representation of the region’s rare and highly coveted tourmaline pockets. The interplay of colors—icy aquamarine hues, smoky neutrality, and pastel mica—offers both contrast and harmony, making it as much a fine mineral specimen as it is a natural work of art.
A truly choice addition for advanced collectors seeking fine pegmatite minerals with excellent provenance.
