Description from the seller

Natural tourmaline crystals – collector lot with 23.10 ct (4.62 g) – about 30 prismatic crystals – excellent colors and transparency

Offered is an attractive lot of natural tourmaline rough crystals with a total weight of 23.10 carats (4.62 g). The lot consists of about 30 individual crystals in different sizes and color shades. It is suitable for mineral collectors, gemstone enthusiasts, gemologists, or for further processing.

The crystals show the tourmaline-typical long-prismatic, columnar (hexagonal-prismatic) crystal form with distinctly pronounced lengthwise striations. Many specimens have well-preserved natural crystal faces, while others show broken ends – typical for unprocessed rough material.

The colors range from light blue and blue-green to yellow-green, up to golden yellow, olive green, and honey yellow. Several crystals are notably transparent to translucent and display an attractive natural coloration under illumination. Individual crystals contain characteristic mineral inclusions that emphasize their natural origin.

The crystals are predominantly 8 to 22 mm long, with some specimens reaching about 25 mm. This creates a varied and high-quality collector’s lot with different crystal sizes.

The photos were taken as macro shots to represent surface texture, longitudinal striation, and natural details as precisely as possible. Additionally, shots with bottom lighting (backlit) were produced. This technique makes the transparency, color intensity, and natural color zoning of many crystals particularly visible. Macro photography reveals details that are only partially visible to the naked eye.
