About the Item

Product Information: Specimen Type: Hackmanite on Calcite Weight: 118 Grams Dimension: H: 4.5 x W: 5.5 x D: 5 cm Origin: Sar-e-Sang Mine, Kokcha Valley, Badakshan Province, Afghanistan Treatment: None Description: This exquisite specimen features an isolated, isometric Hackmanite crystal elegantly perched on a contrasting matrix of Calcite, sourced from the mineral-rich regions of Afghanistan. The Hackmanite, a rare and highly sought-after variety of Sodalite, exhibits its characteristic pale to deep violet hues, with an exceptional fluorescence and tenebrescence, allowing it to change color when exposed to UV light. The well-formed, sharp isometric structure of the crystal enhances its visual appeal, while the Calcite matrix provides a striking contrast, highlighting the Hackmanite’s natural beauty. This specimen not only serves as a remarkable collector’s piece but also offers insight into the fascinating geological processes that create such unique mineral formations.
