Tourmaline Crystal on Matrix - Afghanistan

This is an exceptional and aesthetic mineral specimen featuring a beautiful Tourmaline crystal cluster anchored to its natural host rock. Weighing 1123 carats (approx. 224 grams), this piece is a collector's dream, famous for its vivid colors and excellent crystallization.

The specimen originates from the renowned Paprok, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan—a locality globally celebrated for producing some of the world's finest Tourmalines.

The Tourmaline crystals (often displaying complex colors like pink, green, or blue) are dramatically set against a light-colored Feldspar Matrix and shimmering, silvery-gold Muscovite Mica. This combination creates a stunning visual contrast and a high-aesthetic display piece.
