Natural Etched Green Tourmaline Crystal – Afghanistan

This 3.0ct Green Tourmaline is far from a standard prismatic crystal. It has undergone a natural etching process within the pocket, resulting in a series of geometric pits and "stepped" faces that give the piece a rugged, ancient character. The color is a sophisticated forest green that shows excellent saturation even in its raw form.

Despite the heavy surface etching, the crystal retains a beautiful "glow" when backlit, revealing the high-quality gem material within. Its compact 14mm size makes it an ideal addition to a specialized tourmaline variety suite or a unique component for a bespoke jewelry piece. This is a 100% natural, untreated specimen that highlights the raw, powerful forces of Afghan mineralogy.
