383 Grams Rare Blue Afghanite Crystal On Lazurite With Pyrite From Afghanistan

About the Item

Product Information: Specimen Type: Afghanite on Lazurite with Pyrite Weight: 383 grams Dimension: H: 8.8 x W: 6.5 x D: 6.8 cm Origin: Saar-e-Sang Mine, Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan Treatment: None Description: This rare specimen from Afghanistan showcases a stunning blue afghanite crystal nestled within a matrix of deep blue lazurite, with flecks of metallic pyrite adding a touch of golden shimmer. Afghanite, a relatively rare mineral, is known for its vibrant blue hue, which can range from a striking deep blue to lighter azure tones, adding a dynamic color contrast against the intense ultramarine backdrop of lazurite. The lazurite matrix itself is a member of the sodalite group, prized for its rich coloration, often the primary component of lapis lazuli. Tiny pyrite inclusions are scattered throughout the specimen, providing a natural sparkle and complementing the mineral’s rich blues with a brilliant metallic accent.
