Olive Green Etched Tourmaline with Smoky Quartz Crystal Cluster Afghanistan 33.37 Grams

An interesting mineral specimen from the Mavi Pegmatite in Afghanistan featuring an olive-green tourmaline crystal growing between several smoky quartz crystals. The tourmaline has a naturally etched, uneven end with visible lengthwise striations and a rich green color. The surrounding quartz crystals display complex surface textures and internal features, while the white matrix and scattered dark mineral inclusions provide additional contrast. The unusual combination of crystal shapes and textures gives this piece plenty of character.
