SPECTACULAR Lot of two HUGE Afghan Tourmaline Crystal Sections that run from a lovely Lime Green to a Neon Green with a very slight Yellowish overtone. This is the material that has made Afghan Tourmaline the benchmark in Tourmaline perfection! The lot is running roughly 80%+ TOP Facet Grade with most if not all inclusions concentrated on the rind and ends. We don't think you should have a problem taking out an Eye-Clean or better stone from each of these with a little hard work. Both of these are a SUPER lovely color and an ideally shaped crystal section.  The color on this material is mostly top; however, a few stones have minor inclusions that will need to be worked out to produce Eye-Clean or better finished stones. These are HUGE stones and it is seldom we have this sized material come before us at a decent price. This size and price of these stones makes them a MUST have.

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 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.
