• One-off natural mineral specimen. You will receive the exact crystal shown in the photographs.

• Photographed under neutral lighting to show the colour, clarity and internal features as accurately as possible.

This is a clean golden tourmaline crystal from Tanzania, with a warm honey-champagne colour and enough transparency for light to pass through most of the crystal. It also retains its natural prism faces and termination, so it still looks like a proper tourmaline crystal rather than an anonymous piece of cutting rough.

This natural Tanzanian tourmaline crystal is facet-grade rough, showing excellent transparency with only a couple of fine needle-like inclusions noted by the supplier. Whether you choose to preserve it as a crystal specimen or have it cut into a gemstone, it offers both possibilities. It would also make a beautiful centrepiece for a bespoke jewellery design, while remaining just as appealing to collectors who appreciate natural crystals exactly as they were found.
