Description from the seller

This extraordinary calcite-tourmaline sphere captivates with its intense orange radiance and the striking black tourmaline inclusions, which form a fascinating contrast to the warm color palette. The vivid interplay of rich orange, delicate cream-colored areas, and dark tourmaline accents makes each sphere a unique, one-of-a-kind piece of nature.

The carefully polished spherical form showcases the mineral's natural structure impressively and lets the crystalline details as well as the unique color gradients shine from every angle. The evenly distributed tourmaline inclusions give the stone extra depth and emphasise its extraordinary character.

Each calcite-tourmaline sphere has its own individual grain and is a true original. Whether as an exclusive collector’s piece, a stylish decorative object, or a special gift—this sphere will undoubtedly draw all eyes with its intense color brilliance and natural beauty.

A striking work of natural art full of expression and elegance—perfect for collectors and lovers of extraordinary minerals.

Note: The stand pictured is not included in the delivery, but can be purchased separately.
