Item Description
A simply stunning color palette and a translucent to transparent termination makes this stand out way beyond the normal examples of this classic style from Paprok in Afghanistan. The coloring and quality is characteristic of the late 1990s material here. To this day, it is immediately recognizable; the terminations are more lustrous, interesting, and translucent on this old pocket material compared to similarly colored tourmalines from the few more recent finds with otherwise similar color pattern and shape to the crystal body itself. The colors on this piece are rich and saturated, and there's no need for any special lighting. It is 564 grams. Comes with a custom lucite base. This is a SIGNIFICANT crystal for what it is and was one of the more important specimens in the collection and looks dramatic in the base.
