An exquisite and well-balanced specimen featuring a striking bicolor tourmaline crystal from the renowned Paprok Mine in Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. This captivating piece showcases a perfectly terminated tourmaline that rises elegantly from a finely intergrown matrix of sharp, lustrous quartz, delicate pink lepidolite, and creamy feldspar.

The tourmaline is the focal point of this composition—an extraordinary crystal that transitions from a vivid hot pink at the termination to a soft greenish hue at the base. Measuring 3.2 cm, the crystal boasts exceptional clarity, sharp edges, and a flawless termination, making it both visually dynamic and highly collectible. Complementing the tourmaline is a 2.3 cm quartz crystal with excellent luster, further enhancing the specimen’s aesthetic appeal.

Weighing 224 grams and measuring 8.5 × 6.5 × 3 cm, this small cabinet-sized specimen offers outstanding display presence and mineralogical interest. Altogether, it is a superb example of Afghanistan’s famed pegmatitic mineral assemblages—graceful, colorful, and completely damage-free.
