An elegant and highly aesthetic Tourmaline specimen from the famed Paprok Valley, Nuristan, Afghanistan, featuring beautiful bi-color zoning with vivid green beautifully transitioning into delicate pink hues. The main crystal displays excellent transparency, fine luster, and sharp natural definition with attractive longitudinal striations visible along the prism faces. A naturally attached side crystal enhances the specimen’s overall balance and sculptural appearance, giving it a very graceful presentation. Small Microlite associations add further interest and rarity to the piece. With its pleasing color combination, refined crystal form, and excellent cabinet size, this is a fine example of the classic Tourmalines for which Paprok Valley is so well known among collectors.
