This striking specimen features a free-standing rubellite tourmaline crystal perched elegantly on a matrix of shimmering lepidolite, sourced from the renowned mines of Afghanistan. The rubellite, a vivid pink to deep raspberry red variety of tourmaline, rises with impressive clarity and luster, showcasing its natural hexagonal structure and vibrant internal glow when held to the light. Contrasting beautifully against the silvery-purple tones of the lepidolite, a lithium-rich mica mineral, the crystal appears almost sculptural highlighting the harmonious interplay between form and color. This rare and visually captivating piece is not only a testament to the geological richness of Afghanistan but also a prized find for collectors and enthusiasts of fine mineral specimens.
