Tourmaline Crystal | Paprok Mine, Nuristan, Afghanistan

A truly exceptional specimen from one of the world's most legendary gem localities — the Paprok Mine in Nuristan, Afghanistan. This crystal is a standout even by Paprok's already remarkable standards.

What makes this piece extraordinary is its double termination — a natural formation where the crystal has grown to completion on both ends, a rare occurrence that collectors prize highly. The color zoning is absolutely astonishing: a rich, deep rubellite base transitions into several vivid green zones through the center, showcasing nature's artistry in a single crystal. Clarity is exceptional throughout.

To top it all off, this is an extra-large specimen weighing over 66 grams — commanding in presence and rare at this size with this level of color and clarity combined. A genuine collector's piece that would be the crown jewel of any mineral collection.
