Awesome lot of Pale Minty Bluish Green to Pale and Pastel Pink Afghan Tourmaline Faceting Rough. The lot as a whole is running roughly 65% Top Facet Grade while the remainder is mostly Facet to Semi Facet Grade. The bulk of these stones will cut Eye-Clean to Very Slightly Included Stones and we are confident there are some lovely gems just waiting to come out of here. The lot as a whole is a bit odd shaped and the color is a bit light but it is very clean material and we have discounted it to move quick. This was a miscellaneous parcel we picked up some time ago and it is probably difficult to purchase this material at our price IN Pakistan at the moment as the parcel is several years old. This is a close-out and well discounted so grab this before someone beats you to it!

1. Afghan Tourmaline pockets tend to be relatively small in size and as a result consistency in color & quality is a rarity! We have never seen Afghan Tourmaline sold by the kilo with like colored and quality material and lots are generally small in size seldom going over 1/2-1 kilo.

2. All Afghan Tourmaline is exhumed from primary deposits and as a result mining costs are considerably higher due to dynamite expenditures and traveling expenditures to get to remote mining areas. It is also interesting to note that since all Afghan Tourmaline is from primary deposits most rough will usually have sharp crystal faces.
