This natural chrome tourmaline crystal has exactly the combination collectors look for: vivid natural green colour, excellent transparency and a clean, well formed crystal shape. Sourced from Tanzania, it is a one off collector specimen that displays beautifully under natural light, allowing its rich colour and internal clarity to stand out. You will receive the exact crystal shown in the photographs.

What makes this crystal stand out is its balance. The proportions are unusually pleasing, with a well formed prism, crisp natural growth striations and a largely complete termination that gives it a finished appearance. Light passes cleanly through much of the crystal, revealing natural internal growth features and rich chrome green colour that deepens towards the termination. It has exactly the sort of natural form collectors hope to find when searching for Tanzanian chrome tourmaline.
