This natural green tourmaline comes from the Lelatema Mountains of Tanzania. Although too heavily included for faceting, it has exactly the sort of character many collectors enjoy, with a bright yellow-green colour and an intricate natural interior that becomes more interesting the longer you look at it. The transparent areas allow light to pass through the crystal, while the darker inclusions create a completely unique internal pattern.

Rather than being chosen as cutting rough, this crystal was selected because of its natural character. Whether you’re adding to a mineral collection, building a thumbnail collection, looking for an unusual natural crystal or searching for a gift for someone with an interest in minerals, gemstones or geology, this is a genuine one-off specimen that has been left exactly as it formed in nature.
