A Terminated Pink Tourmaline Cluster From Skardu
This natural tourmaline specimen comes from Skardu, Pakistan, a locality known for producing pink tourmaline with strong, consistent color across multiple crystals in a single cluster. At 190 grams, this piece is a genuine bunch of terminated tourmaline crystals growing together on a natural matrix, rather than a single isolated crystal, which gives it more visual depth from multiple angles than a solitary piece would offer.
The color runs true pink across every crystal in the cluster, with excellent luster on each termination face. Every crystal is complete and free of damage, which matters more on a cluster than on a single crystal, since one damaged point in a group is enough to lower the overall grade of the whole specimen. At this weight, the piece works well as a mid-size display piece, substantial enough to hold its own on a shelf without requiring the display footprint of a much larger specimen. To see the color and cluster formation in more detail, we'd recommend watching the video of this exact piece before deciding.

FAQS
Is this tourmaline cluster natural and untreated?
Yes. This specimen from Skardu, Pakistan is completely natural with no heat treatment or color enhancement. The pink color is exactly how the crystals formed.
Is this a single crystal or a cluster of multiple crystals?
This is a genuine cluster of multiple terminated pink tourmaline crystals growing together on a natural matrix, not a single isolated crystal.
Does this specimen have any damage?
No, every crystal in the cluster is fully terminated and free of chips or fractures.
Is 190 grams a good size for a display specimen?
Yes, at 190 grams this piece works well as a mid-size display specimen, substantial enough to stand out on a shelf without requiring the space a much larger cluster would need.
Is this tourmaline suitable for jewelry making or display only?
This is sold as a raw mineral specimen for display and collecting. The crystals could theoretically be used in jewelry, but cutting them would break up the natural cluster formation that gives this piece its specimen value.
