Afghanite
Sar-e-Sang Lapis Mine, Badakshan Prov., Afghanistan
Miniature, 4.2 x 4.0 x 3.5 cm
SOLD
Perched aesthetically on its marble matrix are two exquisite, well formed afghanite crystals, to 2.2 cm in length, that are lustrous and translucent, along with exhibiting a gorgeous, rich blue color. Larger afghanite crystals are occasionally available but the quality and the two-crystal aesthetics make this specimen one of the best from the deposit in its size range, I would think.
