Green and pink tourmaline on alabaster – 170 grams
This lustrous specimen from Paprok, Afghanistan, weighs 170 grams and measures approximately 7 × 5.5 × 3.5 cm. The striking light-green tourmaline crystals stand out beautifully against the white alabaster matrix. Subtle pink tones create a delicate balance between strength and softness.
The tourmaline crystals are well-formed and exhibit a beautiful luster. Alabaster, a gypsum-like mineral, provides a soft base that allows the sparkling tourmalines to stand out. This piece is ideal for mineral enthusiasts who appreciate natural color contrasts and a serene appearance.
Tourmaline forms deep within the Earth's crust in pegmatite veins; its green color is often caused by iron, and its pink color by traces of manganese. This specimen from Paprok is particularly prized for the purity of its crystals and the contrast with the alabaster matrix.
Green tourmaline promotes vitality and regeneration, while pink tourmaline fosters self-love and emotional balance. A piece that appeals both aesthetically and energetically.
