What Makes This Specimen Relevant
Blue is the rarest color in tourmaline overall, and a terminated tourmaline crystal with a neon quality to its blue is rarer still; our guide on tourmaline colors explained covers why blue and neon coloring in tourmaline command a premium over more common greens and pinks. At 77mm long and only 29 grams, this crystal has an elongated, slender form that shows its color along its full length. This piece sits within our broader Minerals & Crystals collection.
Buying Considerations
Given its slim profile (13 to 16mm wide), this raw tourmaline stone should be handled carefully around its termination to avoid chipping. See how to clean and care for raw mineral specimens for general handling guidance. You can view the video of this exact crystal before purchase. This specimen ships with express shipping.
