Description
This elegant miniature specimen is from the renowned Mawi Pegmatite in Laghman Province, Afghanistan. It showcases a beautifully composed trio of sea-foam-colored tourmaline, soft pink morganite, and delicate cleavelandite. The centerpiece is a well-formed, vibrant tourmaline crystal measuring 4 x 2.2 x 1.9 cm. Its gem-like texture and gentle, greenish-blue tone give it a calm, luminous presence that immediately draws the eye.
The tourmaline is gracefully supported by a matrix of fine cleavelandite and subtly glowing morganite, whose pastel pink hue creates a lovely contrast and enhances the overall harmony of the piece. The balance of color, form, and clarity across all three minerals is exceptional, making the composition both visually engaging and aesthetically refined.
Although the tourmaline has one repair, it has been professionally done and does not detract from the specimen’s strong visual appeal or overall integrity. Weighing 42 g and measuring 4 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm, this piece offers a rare and graceful association of minerals that beautifully represents the quality and elegance for which the Mawi Pegmatite is renowned.
