This is another fine specimen of indicolite tourmaline displaying beautiful shades of blue, accompanied by a delicate association of lepidolite at the base. A well-developed, vertically striated prismatic elbaite tourmaline crystal from Afghanistan, this piece exhibits multiple shades of blue within a single crystal. Termed indicolite, the crystal shows rich blue tones with a subtle pinkish zone toward the bottom, adding to its visual interest and rarity. The vertical striations are sharp and well-defined, enhancing the crystal’s natural character and elegance. Overall, the specimen stands out magnificently, with superb color contrast and strong aesthetic appeal, making it highly desirable for collectors.
