Black Tourmaline Crystal with Albite – 60ct Afghanistan

Directly from the gem-rich regions of Afghanistan, this 60ct specimen features a sharply formed Black Tourmaline crystal, known mineralogically as Schorl. The crystal displays an intense, "piano-black" saturation with a high-vitreous luster, making its characteristic vertical striations shimmer as they catch the light.

The tourmaline is beautifully complemented by a cluster of pristine white Albite crystals. This stark "black on white" contrast is one of the most popular aesthetics in mineral collecting, as the bright albite matrix acts as a natural spotlight for the dark, geometric tourmaline. This is a 100% natural, untreated specimen with a sharp termination, making it a perfect representative piece for an Afghan mineral suite or a specialized tourmaline display.
