This stunning pink tourmaline from Paprok, Afghanistan, fascinates with its intense pink colour and exceptional clarity.

Intense pink through targeted heating

Paprok tourmalines are known for their vivid colours and excellent quality. This specimen displays an especially intense pink hue, which has been enhanced through targeted heating. This process intensifies the natural shades of the tourmaline without affecting its structure or clarity. The result is a brilliantly radiant pink tourmaline, the colour of which varies in a spectrum from delicate pinks to rich, deep colours. This colour enhancement technique makes the piece a unique highlight for mineral collectors looking for something special.


Clarity and intensity of colour combined

What makes this tourmaline so special is its exceptional clarity despite its intense colouring. The crystal is fully crystallised, which means that it has grown perfectly in its natural form and has no visible growth defects. This purity allows light to pass through the crystal unhindered, creating a spectacular play of light and colour. The colour intensity of this tourmaline is remarkable and gives it a depth that is rarely found in this clarity. For collectors who value high-quality and extraordinary minerals, this piece is just right.

The combination of natural clarity and enhanced colour from heating makes this piece an exceptional collector's item that is both visually and geologically interesting.
