Super HOT lot of Neon Blue & Green Afghan Tourmaline with just about every color in-between. There is the occasional Pink or odd colored stone in this lot; however, most fall between the Blue and Green spectrum somewhere. These are lovely top grade crystal sections shaped for high yield and the color on these is just mesmerizing. I would say that roughly 90% of this material is glassy eye-clean with most pieces in here able to facet eye-clean or better and the average stone weight is about 1.5 carats or so. Almost every stone in this lot is a cutter! We got this lot at a steal and are passing the savings on to you!

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.
