Tourmaline Crystal | Pink, Orange & Red | Pachigram Pegmatite Fields, Nuristan, Afghanistan

Old Stock. Exceptional Quality. A Fiery Spectrum in One Crystal.

The Pachigram Mines in Nuristan, Afghanistan are one of the most respected tourmaline localities in the world, and old stock material from this source is increasingly rare to encounter. This crystal represents an earlier era of collecting — set aside precisely because it was recognized as something above the ordinary.

Where the warm-spectrum Pachigram pieces lean toward light and luminosity, this crystal goes deeper and hotter: pink opens the color story, transitions into a rich orange, then burns down into a saturated red. It is a fiery, high-contrast gradient that reads with intensity from every angle — the kind of color range that stops a display case cold.
