Rated Excellent on Trustpilot.

Description from the seller

Weight: ~35 grams
→ In gem terms, that’s about 175 carats (since 1 g = 5 ct).
• Type: Tourmaline (likely gemmy/crystal or raw specimen)
• Origin: Pakistan (noted for high-quality tourmaline, especially in the Gilgit-Baltistan region)


Origin & Geological Context

Pakistan, particularly Skardu, Gilgit, and adjacent pegmatite fields, produces world-class tourmalines. These areas are known for:
• Large, vibrant crystals
• A wide range of colors
• Exceptional clarity in some specimens

Pakistani tourmalines are prized by collectors and gem enthusiasts because they often show intense color saturation and crystal size that’s rare elsewhere.
