1.85ct Teal + Clear Stripe Afghan Tourmaline — Palimpsest Signet or Pendant — Made to Order
The stripe running through this stone isn't a flaw. It's a record.
This is a teal Afghan tourmaline with a natural clear zone running lengthwise through the crystal — a band where the trace element concentration dropped during growth and the color paused. Iron and manganese gave way to nearly pure silica, then resumed. The result is a stone with a built-in horizontal element: teal, clear, teal.
No treatment. Hand-carved in wax by me. One piece.
