AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Visual presentation

A massive, imposing crystal of green elbaite tourmaline, displaying a fascinating natural gradient. The color is fully revealed when light passes through the stone: an intense, luminous green at the top, which gradually darkens into deep, mysterious hues at the base.

Technical features

Weight: 14,785 carats
Dimensions: 18.8 × 9.2 × 9mm
Origin: Stak Nala, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Variety: Green Elbaïte
Shape: Elongated prismatic crystal
Color: Gradient from bright green to dark green
Quality: Superb crystallization, large and remarkable piece

Rarity and interest

This crystal of nearly 15 carats illustrates the grandeur and mineralogical richness of Stak Nala.
Large formats of this quality are increasingly rare to find on the market, making it a coveted piece for demanding collectors.
Its internal play of light, revealing shades from light green to deep green, makes it an exceptional and unique piece.

Historical and geological context

Stak Nala tourmalines are world famous for their chromatic gradients which give them a unique identity.
Coming from alpine pegmatites in Gilgit-Baltistan, they formed in rare geological conditions, giving rise to these crystals with their bright and intense colors.
Their exploitation remains limited and often random, which reinforces their rarity and their historical value for collectors.

Conclusion

An exceptional 14.78-carat green tourmaline, combining visual power, rarity, and prestige. A must-have collector's item, a testament to Stak Nala's mineralogical excellence.
