{"product_id":"pink-kunzite-green-tourmaline-quartz-afghanistan-8-2kg","title":"Pink Kunzite with Green Tourmaline and Quartz, 8.2 Kg, Afghanistan","description":"\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Museum Scale Kunzite, Tourmaline and Quartz Combination From Afghanistan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis specimen weighs 8.2 kilograms and measures 272 x 228 mm, placing it firmly in museum scale territory rather than a typical hand sample. It combines four minerals in one natural formation, pink kunzite crystals, green tourmaline, large terminated quartz crystals, and a white cleavelandite albite matrix holding it all together. You can find this exact listing at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mineralsparadise.com\/products\/pink-kunzite-green-tourmaline-quartz-afghanistan-8-2kg\"\u003epink-kunzite-green-tourmaline-quartz-afghanistan-8-2kg\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePieces that combine this many distinct minerals at this scale are genuinely uncommon, since it requires all four to have grown together in the same pocket without damaging each other during formation or extraction. The quartz crystals are large and fully terminated, the kunzite carries a natural pink color throughout, and the cleavelandite provides a clean white contrast against both the pink and green crystals. The specimen also holds a self standing position on its own, meaning it displays upright without a separate stand, which matters at this weight since finding a base sturdy enough for an 8 kilogram piece isn't always simple.
