DESCRIPTION:

WOWWWWW! This is some more of the most INSANE colored Afghan Tourmaline we have EVER seen coming from this REGION. This is smaller material of what we are selling by the gram in Pak-Tourmaline-Lot 63. This is the material that has made Afghan Tourmaline the benchmark in Tourmaline perfection! The lot is running roughly 95% TOP Facet Grade. Every one of these is a SUPER lovely color and an ideally shaped crystal section or nodule. Some of this is the material that runs $200+ per carat once cut and is practically impossible to get your hands on in the rough. The color on this material is mostly top; however, a few stones have minor inclusions that will need to be worked out to produce the cleanest stones possible. The colors in this lot range from the most spectacular Neon Green color and Electric Paraiba Blue to Turquoise Bicolors to Electric Turquoise and Pastel Pink/White Bicolors!!! It just doesn't get ANY better than this folks!

There is only a LIMITED amount of this material available and we are selling it by the gram to insure everyone who wants some gets a little bit. There is a 5 gram minimum purchase and we will do our best to get as close to your requested purchase weight. We don't really see this caliber material too frequently and will be picking up this material for ourselves should any remain unsold.

This lot is not for the amateur and this is PREMIUM ROUGH! If you are interested in similar colored material in smaller sizes there are several lots up which were initially one large lot and broken up into more uniform size to fit client needs better. Please note that the pictures really don't do the material justice. This stuff has to be seen to be fully appreciated. This is probably one of the best lots that we have up for Tourmaline and we could easily sell this locally for a profit. This is a STEAL at our price and we will purchase this lot ourselves if this material does not sell! Don't miss out on purchasing this as you will regret it!

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.
