AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

An attractive natural green tourmaline specimen from Afghanistan, featuring well-formed prismatic tourmaline crystals beautifully set on a light-colored feldspar/quartz matrix. The tourmaline shows a fresh mint-green to emerald-green color, with strong longitudinal striations that are characteristic of high-quality elbaite crystals.

The main crystal is nicely exposed and aesthetically positioned, with additional smaller crystals enhancing the overall composition. The contrast between the vivid green tourmaline and the creamy white matrix gives this piece excellent visual appeal and strong collector value.
