Awesome lot of Lime Green to Neon Green Afghan Tourmaline Top Faceting Rough Lot. The lot is running roughly 75% TOP Facet Grade with practically every stone being a SUPER lovely color and an ideally shaped crystal section or nodule. 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. This is not small rough folks and the average weight is running roughly 6.18 Cts. We have NEVER been able to over material that was 1 gram or over at this per carat price and we are confident that it will please any Tourmaline Collector or Dealer.

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.
