This remarkable specimen originates from Stak Nala, a renowned locality in the Haramosh Mountains of Pakistan, famous for producing some of the finest tourmaline specimens in the world. The area’s unique geological conditions contribute to the striking combinations of schorl with other minerals, making this a highly desirable piece for any collector.
