Origin:(Afghanistan)

Afghanistan green tourmaline is a highly prized variety of tourmaline, known for its vivid and rich green color. Afghanistan, particularly the area around the Nuristan province, has been a historic source of high-quality green tourmaline. These stones are often distinguished by their deep, intense green shades, which can range from light, minty green to a more saturated forest green.

The green color in these tourmalines is primarily caused by the presence of iron and other trace elements within the gemstone’s structure. Afghanistan's green tourmalines are often valued for their striking color and exceptional clarity, and they are typically cut into various shapes for use in fine jewelry.

Afghanistan is also renowned for producing tourmaline with unique color zoning, meaning the stones can show different shades of green within the same gem. These multi-toned gemstones are highly sought after by collectors and gem enthusiasts alike.

Due to the region's ongoing political and logistical challenges, the supply of Afghan tourmalines can be inconsistent, making them relatively rare and sometimes more expensive than those from other sources.
