Double-Terminated Tourmaline Crystal | Paprok Mine, Nuristan, Afghanistan — 2026 Production

Fresh from the Source — 2026 Production

This exceptional double-terminated tourmaline crystal comes directly from the legendary Paprok Mine in the Nuristan Region of Afghanistan — one of the most celebrated gem pegmatite localities in the world. Extracted as part of the most recent 2026 production run, this piece represents some of the freshest material available on the market today.

The Double Termination Difference

What sets this crystal apart is its natural double termination — a complete, undamaged point at both ends. This formation occurs when a crystal grows freely in open space without attachment to a matrix, resulting in a fully expressed, symmetrical specimen that is significantly rarer than single-terminated examples. Collectors and enthusiasts prize double-terminated crystals for their visual balance and energetic completeness.
