Rosy Mint Tourmaline · Facet Rough · 7.2 ct · Untreated · Bi-Color

This exceptional natural tourmaline crystal from Afghanistan displays a beautiful combination of soft mint green and delicate rosy pink, creating an elegant bi-color appearance that makes the rough attractive even before it is transformed into a finished gemstone.

Weighing 7.24 carats, the crystal stands out not only for its color but also for its remarkably well-preserved natural form. With an estimated 99% facetable volume, nearly the entire crystal has the potential to be utilized during cutting, making it an outstanding choice for faceters seeking maximum efficiency and creative flexibility.

The transparent material and excellent clarity allow light to travel freely through the crystal, offering exciting possibilities for precision faceting. Depending on the chosen orientation, the finished gemstone can either emphasize the subtle color transition or highlight one of the two dominant hues. Designs such as emerald, radiant, cushion, or custom fantasy cuts could all complement the crystal’s natural proportions.

Afghanistan is internationally recognized for producing some of the world’s finest tourmalines, prized for their exceptional transparency and vibrant colors. This untreated crystal is a fine example of that reputation, combining natural beauty with excellent cutting potential in a single piece of rough.
