About the Item

Product Information: Specimen Type: Hackmanite on Calcite Weight: 235 grams Dimension: H: 5.5 x W: 7.5 x D: 6.5 cm Origin: Kokcha Valley, Badakshan Province, Afghanistan Treatment: None Description: This exceptional specimen showcases a free-standing crystal of rare Hackmanite gracefully positioned on a contrasting Calcite matrix, sourced from the mineral-rich deposits of Afghanistan. The Hackmanite, a unique and highly prized variety of Sodalite, exhibits a stunning range of hues from soft lavender to deep violet, with remarkable tenebrescence shifting colors under UV light exposure. Its well-formed, sharp crystal structure enhances its aesthetic appeal, standing prominently against the white to translucent Calcite base, which further amplifies its vibrant tones. A true collector’s treasure, this specimen highlights the rare beauty and fascinating optical properties of Hackmanite, making it a standout addition to any fine mineral collection.
