Bicolor Tourmaline Crystal with White Albite Paprok, Nuristan Province, Kamdesh District, Afghanistan. Tourmaline from Paprok is scarce but exceptional and is often imbued with glassy luster, and distinct zoning in attractive, pastel colors. This beautiful example exhibits excellent morphology, great translucency and luster, and a lovely combination of colors in pink, apple-green, with hints of yellow. What really distinguishes this example, however, is its unique, rhombohedral termination with beveled edges.
In some instances, tourmalines can, in fact, have a rhombohedral termination, which gives this specimen a very distinct aesthetic flare. Adding to the visual interest, even more, are slender side-car crystals that add an element of texture to the already unique shape. This specimen would make a valuable and colorful addition to any fine mineral collection, as a distinct example of bicolor tourmaline crystal from a famous locality.
