Super lot of Neon Green to Sea-Foam Green Afghan Tourmaline Faceting & Cabbing Rough Lot. Overall this lot is primarily Cabbing Grade; however, roughly 30%+ of the Lot is Facet Grade and 20% of the lot Top Facet Grade. We are confident you will take out several stones that are in the 2-6+ Carat range that are eye-clean or better with a little hard work. This looks to be a good solid investment as you will get nice sized cut stones from this parcel. Please note that the largest Crystal (It is  partially terminated) is what the lot is being sold on and at our price it is well worth picking up without thinking about it twice.

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.
