Afghanistan



LOCATION
Ladjuar Medam, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan
SIZE
49 x 34 x 25 mm
DESCRIPTION
Typically afghanite crystals, no matter how saturated the color may be, are opaque, but the crystals on this piece are much gemmier than the average afghanite. This specimen hosts a few sharp, well-formed, hexagonal crystals of afghanite measuring up to 30mm - and when you look at the color and the contrast, this is really exceptional!
