This breathtaking specimen from Paprok, Nuristan, Afghanistan showcases two large, fully terminated Watermelon Tourmaline crystals – remarkable for their vivid coloration and pristine form. These exceptional crystals both exhibit nearly the entire visible light spectrum – a rare and naturally occurring phenomenon– displaying five distinct colors arranged in proper rainbow sequence.
What makes this piece even more extraordinary is that the Tourmalines are still anchored to their original matrix: a rich bed of purple Lepidolite embedded with additional associated Tourmaline crystals for added texture and complexity.
Boasting top-tier luster, clarity, and full termination, this specimen is an absolute showstopper: a true museum-quality piece destined to become the centerpiece of any advanced mineral collection.
