Collector Notes


Tourmaline is a borosilicate mineral prized for its striking polychromatic properties. The specimens in this collection demonstrate exceptional colour variation within single pieces, a hallmark of high-quality tourmaline material. The banding patterns suggest formation in distinct mineralisation phases. The polished cylindrical form is particularly notable for its concentric ring structure, indicating careful lapidary work to reveal the internal colour stratification.
