Tourmaline var. Elbaite

Few places in the world produce as dramatic and vividly-colored tourmalines as the Pech River Valley in Afghanistan. At over five inches in height, this is a significant elbaite tourmaline crystal that transitions in color from sea foam to hunter green and ends in a termination of pink and violet. This eye-catching specimen is a great representation of the high-quality finds from this mountainous region of Afghanistan, with excellent luster, transparency, color, and overall quality.
