Here is an impressive, glassy, polychrome Tourmaline crystal from the famous gem pegmatites of Paprok, Afghanistan with an unusually fine termination. This stout, striated crystal with a translucent, magenta-purple for the bottom two-thirds of the crystal and transitions to a discontinuous, turbid, pale pink pastel pink zone, with the top third gemmy, rich green and bright teal green termination. It has great luster and a flaring termination and somewhat divergent sidecar crystals that give it a larger presence in the display. It is absolutely perfect all around with magnificent display.
