WAKING UP NEXT TO 30.8 GRAMS OF PAPROK MAGIC

WAKING UP NEXT TO 30.8 GRAMS OF PAPROK MAGIC

Not a bad way to start the morning…

Waking up with the sunrise in the background and this absolute stunner sitting next to me — 30.8 grams of elite Paprok Tourmaline from Afghanistan.

That early morning light hits this crystal differently. The electric neon green body absolutely ignites, transitioning into that rich pink-red cap with incredible saturation and contrast. Add the razor-sharp termination, glassy luster, crisp vertical striations, and beautiful gemmy transparency, and this one is seriously hard to put down.

There’s something special about seeing a crystal like this in natural sunrise light. Every rotation reveals another flash of color, another internal detail, another reason Paprok remains one of my favorite Tourmaline localities on Earth.

Now I’m fueled up and READY FOR DAY 2 of the Hardrock Summit Gem & Mineral Show here in Colorado!

The hunt continues… let’s see what Day 2 brings.
