About this specimen

Afghanistan tourmaline at 2.3 cm; a thumbnail, supplied in the display box shown. Tourmaline crystals in pale green fan out in a small spray, the prisms short and blunt with striated sides and a glassy shine across the terminations.

Tourmaline forms striated prisms with a rounded-triangular cross-section, most prized when still in the pegmatite matrix.

Afghanistan's Kunar and Nuristan pegmatites are among the world's great sources of aquamarine, tourmaline and kunzite.

The piece is thumbnail in size, 2.3 × 1.7 × 1.1 cm (0.91 × 0.67 × 0.43 in). Condition is otherwise as photographed.

Specimens are photographed and catalogued one at a time before they reach this page.
