{"product_id":"pink-tourmaline-cluster-skardu-pakistan-190g","title":"Natural Pink Tourmaline Crystal Cluster, 190g, Skardu Pakistan","description":"\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA Terminated Pink Tourmaline Cluster From Skardu\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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.
