Description
Paprok Mine, Kamdesh District, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan
A beautiful gemmy red cranberry colored rubellite from Paprok Mine, Kamdesh District, Nuristan Province, Afghanistan. This piece has great internal clarity and a slight yellow core that can be seen from the back. The tourmaline is surrounded by smaller tourmaline crystals and sits on a matrix of microcline. There is one minor ding on the front, which does not distract from the otherwise pristine specimen.
