Epidote and Magnetite Specimen, Ras Koh Mountains, Kharan, Balochistan, Pakistan green dravite Blue and green fibrous tourmalines

Blue and green fibrous tourmalines were uncovered in the late 2000s as a by-product of sapphire mining operations in the Kokcha Valley

They exhibit a striking contrast of jet black color and breathtaking luster for the cassiterite and white to bluish color and pearly luster for the cleavelandite

Approx 10mm beads
