This impressive polychrome tourmaline crystal hails from the renowned gem pegmatites of the Paprok Mine in Nuristan, Afghanistan. This specimen features a stunning termination and is complemented by an association with Lepidolite and Albite at its base, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.

While the crystal has undergone a single professional repair with minor restoration at the midpoint, this meticulous work does not detract from its exceptional display quality. The vibrant, open color, sharp termination, and harmonious combination of Lepidolite and Albite contribute to its remarkable visual impact.

Weighing 305 grams and measuring 11.5 × 5 × 4 cm, this cabinet-sized specimen exemplifies the superior quality and beauty characteristic of minerals from the Paprok Mine.
