What Makes This Lot Interesting?
The main feature of this material is its natural green cap coloration combined with the original tourmaline crystal form. Because these are rough natural crystals, individual pieces can have different proportions, surfaces, colour distribution, and internal characteristics.
For collectors, the natural form provides an opportunity to study the crystal before cutting or polishing. For lapidary buyers, each crystal should be evaluated individually to determine whether it is appropriate for cutting based on its colour, transparency, fractures, inclusions, and orientation.
Tourmaline is commonly found as elongated crystals, and the orientation of rough can influence how colour appears when the material is cut.
Please use the product photographs to evaluate the actual appearance of the lot. Natural rough material is not expected to have identical colour, shape, or surface characteristics throughout the entire lot.
