Green and pink tourmaline on alabaster – 82 grams
This handy specimen comes from Paprok, Afghanistan, and features a beautiful collection of lustrous tourmaline crystals set in a white alabaster matrix. The combination of soft pastel hues—bright green and subtle pink—makes it an aesthetically appealing collector’s item. Dimensions: approx. 6.5 × 5 × 2.5 cm.
The tourmaline appears as delicate columnar crystals that playfully protrude from the alabaster. The alabaster itself has a powdery white appearance and provides a beautiful backdrop for the sparkling tourmaline needles. Its size makes this piece ideal for those who want to build a small but powerful collection.
Tourmaline is a borosilicate that forms in pegmatite veins, often alongside minerals such as albite, lepidolite, or alabaster. The color variation in this specimen is caused by traces of iron (green) and manganese (pink). Paprok is known as one of the world’s premier sources of the most beautiful multicolored tourmalines.
Green tourmaline has a revitalizing and harmonizing effect, while pink tourmaline promotes gentleness, acceptance, and love. This combination makes it a beloved stone among sensitive souls and energy healers.
