Bicolor Tourmaline

Weighing 23 grams, this raw bicolor Tourmaline specimen showcases the distinct color zoning characteristic of Afghanistan’s world-class pegmatites. The crystal cluster features parallel prismatic columns that transition smoothly between vivid color zones, shifting gracefully from rich pinkish-rubellite tones to cool green and pastel bluish hues toward the terminations. Each slender elbaite crystal displays sharp striations along its length, high internal transparency, and a brilliant vitreous luster that glows brightly under direct lighting. Well-proportioned with a delicate multi-crystal architecture, this 23-gram piece is preserved in its completely natural, unpolished form with no artificial enhancements. An aesthetic addition to any collection, it serves as a stunning representative of fine Afghan tourmaline craftsmanship by nature.
