Bright chrome green colour, attractive transparency and a well formed natural crystal make this a beautiful collector specimen from Tanzania. Carefully selected for its display appeal, this is the exact chrome tourmaline crystal shown in the photographs and an excellent choice for a mineral collection, cabinet display or thoughtful gift for a crystal enthusiast.

Unlike the faceted chrome tourmaline most people see in jewellery, natural crystals like this are much less frequently available. Despite its compact size, this specimen displays vivid colour, crisp natural crystal faces and excellent lustre, giving it a much stronger visual presence than many miniature tourmalines. It comes from the Laletema Hills in Tanzania, a locality recognised by collectors for producing fine natural tourmaline crystals.
