Elbaite Tourmaline – The Perfection of Termination
This extraordinary elbaite tourmaline features an intense pink termination, composed of multiple perfectly developed lustrous faces. This quality not only enhances its beauty but also makes it a rare gem for any collection.
An interesting detail is the presence of pink lepidolite at the base, which acts as a natural matrix. Lepidolite, a lithium-rich mineral, directly indicates the unique chemistry of the Paprok pegmatites.

Che incanto!
Elbaite Tourmaline – The Signature of Afghan Pegmatites
Elbaite tourmaline from Paprok is renowned for its vibrant polychromy, a distinctive feature that makes it one of the most sought-after varieties worldwide.
This specimen, with its transition from green to pink, perfectly captures the essence of a locality famous for producing extraordinary crystals.
Scientific curiosity: The polychromy in tourmaline is the result of chemical variation during the crystal’s growth, influenced by elements like iron, manganese, and lithium.
