Afghanistan is quite capable of producing some of the world's finest, most intensely colored Tourmalines. Though these are often overshadowing by cuprian stones from Mozambique, there are stones, such as this one, that make a strong argument for these Afghani stones. A truly exceptional gem with a US precision cut and very intense, even vivid, color that is markedly more toward the blue end of the spectrum than most of these. A top quality gem that is a true prize and difficult to source at this price level.
