Description:
Awesome bubble gum pink tourmaline with a structure like a bunch of acicular crystals bunched together into one crystal. It’s not gemmy all the way through, but the outer crystals appear gemmy. Accented with small muscovites that have almost a peachy pink blush to them. Refer to notes for locality info.

Notes
:
Dealer claimed it’s from the “Pachira Gam Mine” in Afghanistan. I can not find anything with this name. It looks a lot like pieces I’ve seen from Paprok so I’m going to assume there was some misinformation or some autocorrect from the dealers text, until/unless I’m corrected in the future.
