This magnificent natural Canary Tourmaline crystal is a rare specimen from Zomba, Malawi, a region renowned worldwide for producing copper-rich neon-yellow tourmalines—among the most coveted by collectors and high-level lapidaries.

The sample displays an extremely saturated color, with unusual internal luminosity and reflections reminiscent of the famous "Paraíba" tourmalines, demonstrating the characteristic optical effect of Cu-bearing.
The natural crystalline finish and remarkable clarity and brilliance make this piece an authentic representation of Malawi's mineralogy.

A museum-grade specimen, ideal for display.

The stone will be carefully packaged and shipped with a tracking number. See my other auctions.
Thank you for your attention.
