Natural Pink Tourmaline Crystal – Rare Afghanistan

Sourced from the legendary mining regions of Afghanistan (likely Kunar or Nuristan), this 21.9ct Pink Tourmaline (Rubellite variety) is a prime example of why Afghan material is so highly prized. The crystal displays a saturated, cheerful pink color that remains bright even in lower light settings.

The specimen features the classic trigonal crystal system with sharp, well-defined vertical striations along the prism faces. The termination is intact, showcasing the unique geometry that defines the Tourmaline group. With a length of 24mm and a "fat," robust profile, it has a significant presence in the hand. Whether you are a mineral collector or a jewelry designer looking for a high-impact focal stone for a raw-crystal pendant, this untreated Afghan beauty is an exceptional choice.
