Tourmaline (great color)

Item Description

Here we have a beautiful miniature size, richly colored crystal with an attractive pyramidal termination, glassy luster and excellent gemminess. Afghanistan has truly produced some of the most attractive Tourmaline specimens around for the last 25 years or so, and they have really held their own against Trouamlines from other world localities. This crystal has a phenomenal green hue throughout and is certainly clean enough in areas to produce wonderful gemstones. The crystal is complete all the way around, and very attractive. It is becoming more and more difficult to obtain superb quality Tourmalines from Paprok for decent prices, as the locals seem to be charging more and more for them after each new find. Based upon what we've seen on the market recently from some dealers, this piece could easily be valued at around $2500 high retail.
