Blue Tourmaline with Quartz from Afghanistan

An extraordinary and highly collectible Blue Tourmaline specimen(Indicolite variety) sourced from the iconic pegmatites of Paprok, Afghanistan. This rare piece exhibits a remarkably broad, tabular, and blocky crystal habit, boasting an intense, saturated ocean-blue to deep teal coloration. Nestled neatly on a contrasting white-bladed albite matrix, this 4.5 x 5.5 x 7.5 cm specimen features excellent face luster and showcases beautiful light transmission along its top edge. The piece remains in its raw, organic form with a minor, completely natural pocket chip along its flat termination.
