Tourmaline : AD3G6(BO3)3[T6O18]Y3Z

Jegdalek (Jagdalek; Jagdalak; Jagdalik) Ruby Mine, Sorobi District, Kabol (Kabul) Province, Afghanistan

This is a fine elbaite with several zones of color along with subsidiary, terminated, elbaite crystals. Pristine all around! Rich pink goes half way up the crystals, then gives way to a gemmy, light pastel green, which, in turn, adds a light pastel pink at the termination. I particularly like the complex, multiply-reflecting faces on the pyramidal ...

Konar (Kunar; Konarh; Konarha; Nuristan) Province, Afghanistan

An unusually fine bubblegum-pink cluster of tourmaline, complete all around , and phenomenally 3-dimensional and aesthetic! Seldom do you see clusters for some reason - they tend to form up as singles, or as big matrix pieces. I cannot say as I have ever seen one of this style as a miniature size that i like as much as this one. 4.2 x 2.8 x 1.7 ...

Tourmaline : AD3G6(BO3)3[T6O18]Y3Z

Konar (Kunar; Konarh; Konarha; Nuristan) Province, Afghanistan

A gorgeous tourmaline, complete all around except for the most trivial of dings on a few edges, with incredibly rich indicolite blue hue and a very sharp purple cap atop it. This piece shows off its great color even with minimal backlighting, despite its thickness, and is thus most unusual. 4 x 3.5 x 2.8 cm
