This superb natural elbaïte (indicolite) tourmaline presents an especially elegant and slender crystallization, with a very aesthetically vertical architecture. Its subtle bluish-green hue, slightly mentholated, offers remarkable luminosity and a refined presence.
The extremely fine natural striations run through the entire crystal and accentuate its relief, while the transparency reveals a beautiful internal depth. The whole has a delicate and sophisticated appearance, typical of the finest Afghan tourmalines.
