DESCRIPTION:

This is a Ghani SPECIAL! We have listed several lots up on our site that are the property of Mr. Hazrat Ghani. Hazrat Ghani has been supplying some of the largest Tourmaline dealers in the world with their rough from Afghanistan for a very long time and he is known out here in Pakistan as one of the Tourmaline Kingpins. Ghani's specialty is being able to acquire the rare lovely Tourmaline colors that don't ever enter the rough markets outside of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

THESE ARE SUPER HUGE INSANE SEA-FOAM GREEN TOURMALINE NODULES!!! It doesn't get any better than this folks. These are some of the best pieces we have seen in the local market in years and we are confident this will make any Tourmaline lover's heart just MELT!!! Please note that Tourmaline RARELY every reaches this size and clarity in Afghanistan and when it does it doesn't' last long in the market out here.  This lot is TOP TOP facet grade. We see no problems in both stones yielding flawless finished gems with relative ease! Since these are both Nodules we expect HIGH weight return in the finished product so I would advise grabbing this lot as quick as you can!

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.
