The smoky quartz, with its deep, translucent hues of brown and gray, serves as a grounding base, highlighting the bright, elongated pink tourmaline formations. Interspersed between the crystals, sparkling clusters of lepidolite, a lilac-colored mica, add an extra layer of beauty and complexity to the piece. Sourced from Afghanistan, this combination of minerals is not only aesthetically captivating but also a rare and prized find in the world of mineral collectors. The balance of the vivid pink tourmaline, the earthy tones of smoky quartz, and the soft shimmer of lepidolite creates a visually harmonious and energetically potent display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable width=\"445\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 49.075px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 95.925px; height: 49.075px;\"\u003eSpecimen Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 331.275px; height: 49.075px;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTourmaline Crystal on Smoky Quartz with Lepidolite\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 36px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 95.925px; height: 36px;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 331.275px; height: 36px;\"\u003e50 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 37px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 95.925px; height: 37px;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 331.275px; height: 37px;\"\u003eH: 6.3 x W: 3.8 x D: 3 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 38px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 95.925px; height: 38px;\"\u003eTreatment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 331.275px; height: 38px;\"\u003eNone\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 48px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 95.925px; height: 48px;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 331.275px; height: 48px;\"\u003ePaprok Mine, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eTourmaline:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gandharagems.com\/product-category\/specimens-and-crystals\/tourmaline\/\"\u003eTourmaline\u003c\/a\u003e is an extremely popular gemstone; the name Tourmaline is derived from Turamali, which is thought to mean 'stone with mixed colors.' \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gandharagems.com\/product-category\/specimens-and-crystals\/\"\u003eColor is king\u003c\/a\u003e for tourmaline, which is found in more shades and hues than any other gem.
