Indicolite from Afghanistan, Kunar, Dara-e-Pech District, Dara-e-Pech pegmatite field

5

Superb specimen from Dara-I-Peach in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.

At its center are two twin-shaped tourmaline crystals in a deep seafoam color, both of which show remarkable translucency and vivid saturation.

Adding to the beauty of the piece is a delicate, flower-like cluster of cleavelandite, gracefully nestled near the tourmalines. Alongside this is a window-clear quartz crystal, measuring ten centimeters in length.
