Blue-Cap Tourmaline w/ Albite & Lepidolite (Ref: TZ22-BLUECAP)
Paprock, Nuristan, Afghanistan
68mm x 73mm x 77mm
Here is a very aesthetic Indicolte Tourmaline with Albite. This is a nice, large tourmaline crystal. The cap is a grey-blue color, and the termination has an interesting hole in the middle into which you can see a lepidolite crystal that has grown. The white albite contains some very pale-purple lepidolite. There is one restoration on the front tip. We were told by the collector that we purchased it from that the bevels on the top edge of the termination are natural, but we are doubtful. There might be some lab work there too. Overall, however, a very nice specimen! Sorry. This specimen has been sold.
