Spectacular lot of Afghan Tourmaline running from a Neon Green to an Inky Blue. These are extremely clean large crystal sections and both should cut eye-clean or better with a little hard work. Both stones are ideally shaped crystal sections that should support high yields. The Inky Blue Stone is on the dark side and the C axis is closed; however, heating may quite possibly improve the color. The Neon Green stone itself is worth the price of the lot and is a super vibrant color.

This is the material that you see retailing for $10.00+ per carat! This is TOP TOP faceting grade material. We are confident you will get 2 huge gems from in here with a little work.

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.
