Elbaite- gem crystal cluster (Ref: 15.1-419)

Paprok, Kamdesh District, Nuristan, Afghanistan
52mm x 11mm x 8mm
minID: H8W-YRC
100 percent gem Tourmaline in a joined cluster of prisms having 4 separate terminations on the "top". The crystal is doubly terminated so there is a fifth termination (flat type) on the bottom. I count 4 colors in zones but two are rather small and not distinct. The whole is perfectly transparent and facet grade, there is no damage even under good magnification. This is from a major find at Paprock some years back that has since dried up. These polychrome crystals are very distinct and are immediately recognizable from that find.
