A crystal of stunning pastel tourmaline from Afghanistan (not Pakistan) with an unusual flattened form, complete all around and terminated. The color in person is not quite as saturated as the pic shows - it is a typical light "aquamarine blue" in reality. This crystal has good transparency, and weighs 14 grams.
