Description from the seller
15.0 ct Exquisite Lot of 7 Indigolite Tourmaline Crystals – Afghanistan – Kunar Paprok
Description:
A wonderful exclusive, museal lot of rare, natural Indigolite tourmaline crystals is up for auction. These 7 pristine specimens impress with their deep blue, petrol hue saturation, which reveals fascinating brilliance when viewed against transmitted light. Indigolite with this clarity and color purity is a rarity and represents a solid investment.
Specifications:
Total weight: 15.0 ct (approx. 3 grams)
Origin: Afghanistan, Kunar Province, Paprok
Dimensions (length x width):
Longest crystal: approx. 2.0 cm
Shortest crystal: approx. 1.1 cm
Largest individual crystal: 12.5 x 9.1 mm
Condition: Untreated (natural crystal structure), partly with remnants of pegmatite matrix at the base.
Quality & Details:
The lot is a perfect set for mineral miniature collectors. The characteristic longitudinal striations of the tourmaline columns are well developed in all specimens. Some crystals already show potential for high-quality faceting ('gem-grade'), while others impress with their aesthetic matrix encrustation.
This lot is offered without a minimum price
Indigolite is the rarest and most valuable color variety of the tourmaline group and captivates with its deep petrol-blue color, produced by iron inclusions in the crystal lattice. Due to its rarity and the difficulty of obtaining gem-quality material, it is among the most precious gemstones in the world.
Shipping: Secure, insured shipping with tracking.
