Awesome lot of Neon Bluish Green to Turquoise Afghan Tourmaline Cabbing & Semi-Facet Rough. This is being sold as Cabbing Rough; however, roughly 20% of the parcel is running High to Top Facet Grade while a considerable portion of the remainder may be classified as Facet Grade by some.

This parcel would be ideal for someone that could utilize both the Cabbing and Faceting Rough respectively but is a give away considering the price regardless of your needs. Even for the Cabber the quality of the material is exceptional and it is sure to please (Many of the stones in here are practically preformed because of the crystal structure of Tourmaline).

These are all a nice size with the average weight being almost 5.5 CARATS! Please note that most of the stones in this lot will cut slightly included at best and the lot is being sold as CABBING Grade; however, there are a few stones that do support faceting. Don't miss your opportunity to purchase this spectacular lot at this give-away price!

1. Afghan Tourmaline pockets tend to be relatively small in size and as a result consistency in color & quality is a rarity! We have never seen Afghan Tourmaline sold by the kilo with like colored and quality material with rare exception and lots are generally small in size seldom going over 1/2-1 kilo.

2. All Afghan Tourmaline is exhumed from primary deposits and as a result mining costs are considerably higher due to dynamite expenditures and traveling expenditures to get to remote mining areas. It is also interesting to note that since all Afghan Tourmaline is from primary deposits most rough will usually have sharp crystal faces.
