Two gemmy and lustrous, powder-blue afghanite crystals aesthetically attached to off-white marble from the Type Locality - Sar-e-Sang, Afghanistan. The large crystal is 2.4 cm and the color is very fine. Highly representative of the species and locality in form but with unusually nice pastel blue color instead of the darker lapis-like color many have.
