Description from the seller

This striking sphere combines pink tourmaline, smoky quartz, and a white albite matrix in a highly expressive natural composition. The contrast between the pink tourmaline areas, the lighter white matrix, and the darker smoky quartz sections gives the piece a strong collector’s character and a very distinctive appearance from every angle.

The sphere has a polished finish that highlights the internal structure, color variation, and mineral intergrowth especially well. The mix of bright and dark areas creates depth and visual movement across the surface, making it an eye-catching display piece.

This sphere is very rare, and with a weight of over 3.98 kg, this example is even more impressive.

Highlights:
- Sphere with red tourmaline, smoky quartz with white albite
- Strong natural contrast of pinkish-red, white, gray, and dark tones
- Polished surface with attractive mineral structure
- Distinctive presentation from multiple angles
- Over 1.5 kg, Ø 104 mm
- Rare and impressive collector’s display piece
