Tourmaline on Quartz$6,500.00
Wire transfers available, to set up
A stunning Elbaite tourmaline crystal of wonderful colour and with a perfect termination from Nuristan Province in Afghanistan. The single crystal measures 4.3 x 1.3 x 1.0 cm and is of a magnificent turquoise-green/aqua-blue with many gemmy zones and of great overall transparency. The crystal does contain various types of inclusions and wispy flaws when observed against a good light, but these simple add to the marvelous character of this piece. The prism faces are deeply striated and the termination is that of a flattened pyramid with slightly frosted termination faces with lustrous flattened edges in between. Attached to one side of the tourmaline is a 2.6 x 1.5 x 1.0 cm cluster of slightly smoky Quartz crystals, with a few prism and termination faces present. This is a choice miniature specimen of blue tourmaline from Jesse Fisher and Joan Kureczka's collection.
