This is a classic Tourmaline palette from the Nuristan region of Afghanistan. Gemmy throughout, the color varies from a lovely grass green to clear to a golden-olive, well-formed termination. The prism faces are striated, with good to very good luster. As normal, there is minor edge wear. At 11 g, this fine Tourmaline toenail is aesthetic and highly representative for the area.
