Afghanite (M842)
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 two 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!
