DESCRIPTION:

Awesome lot of Afghan Tourmaline running from a Stewart Pink to a Neon Green. Most of these are HUGE chunky crystal sections (Many of the stones in here are practically preformed because of the crystal structure of Tourmaline). This lot is running roughly 75% HIGH facet grade and looks WAY better than the above pictures depict.

This is the material that you see retailing for $8.00+ per carat! This is mostly HIGH faceting grade material and there are quite a LARGE few killer pieces in here. We are confident you will get several HUGE gems from in here with a little work that will just blow you away.  Practically every stone in the lot is a nice and chunky crystal section capable of giving above average yield. This is the largest averaging  lot we currently have up and it is priced at a discount so don't miss out!

COOL FACTS:
  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.
