Facet grade tourmaline 200 g

Afghanistan is known for producing high-quality tourmaline gemstones in a variety of colors, including pink, green, blue, and multicolored varieties. Some of the most famous Afghan tourmalines include the “Paraiba-like” blue-green tourmalines found in the Nuristan Province and the pink and red tourmalines from the Kunar Province.

Afghanistan has a long history of gemstone mining and trade, and tourmalines have been mined in the country for centuries. However, due to the political instability and conflict that has plagued Afghanistan in recent decades, the mining and export of gemstones has been disrupted.

Despite these challenges, Afghan tourmalines remain highly prized by gemstone enthusiasts and collectors around the world. Their unique colors and high clarity make them some of the most sought-after tourmalines in the market. Some of the top buyers of Afghan tourmalines are from the United States, Japan, and Europe.
