AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Extraordinary green tourmaline piece, 38.40 g - 5.50 × 3.50 × 2.00 cm
Origin: Pakistan, Hindu Kush
This wonderful mineral specimen measures 5.50 × 3.50 × 2.00 cm and weighs 38.40 grams. It displays an impressive number of sharply formed, vividly green tourmaline crystals densely arranged on the matrix. The crystals are exceptionally well-defined, with their prismatic outer surfaces shimmering with luster and transparency – the piece possesses a unique crystalline structure and aesthetic appeal.
This exceptional specimen comes from one of Pakistan's most renowned mining regions. Skardu is globally known for its high-quality pegmatite and metamorphic deposits – and this provenance is reflected here in the purity and structure of the crystals.
The stage presents a dense network of finely formed, clearly defined green crystals, whose surfaces show a precise sparkle in the light. Under the magnifying glass, a microcosm reveals itself, with perfectly grown terminations, remarkably clean and free of distracting matrix components. The green hue appears natural and fresh, typical for the region – yet delicate enough to draw the collector's eye to the perfect geometry.
Aesthetics & Quality
Very good crystal definition, numerous undamaged tips.
Elegant, natural color gradients: light green to olive green.
High clarity of individual crystal facets
Collectible structure with strong microdynamics under magnification
Why this level is special.
Skardu has been producing some of the most sought-after crystal specimens in South Asia for years. Finds of this quality – compact, finely detailed, and visually clear – are becoming rarer, as many classic collecting sites have been exhausted. This specimen combines the region's characteristic features in a very aesthetically balanced form.
A piece for collectors who value quality, provenance, and fine crystal craftsmanship.
Mineralogically, this fine tourmaline is particularly valuable because such delicate crystals are rarely preserved with such good definition. The combination of intense color, clear crystal structure, and larger crystal mass makes this specimen a collector's item of high rank. With display base.
