Locality: Afghanistan

Shown above is a 7mm x 5mm deep - 1.56 carat "A" Dome cut from peice of Afghanistan sea foam Tourmaline.

 

This is material is very scarce, and the Afghanistan dealers tend to hang onto it. The colors are very delicate and at their best when cut in a deeper design, a Barion is always a good choice.
