Description from the seller
Natural Rough Pollucite Crystals – Konar, Afghanistan
Offered is a rare lot of natural rough Pollucite crystals from the Konar mines of Afghanistan, with a total weight of 206 grams comprising 40 individual pieces.
These attractive specimens display excellent transparency and a strong natural lustre, making the lot particularly appealing to mineral collectors and gemstone enthusiasts. The smaller pieces are of facet-grade quality, offering potential for cutting, while the larger pieces occur in their attractive natural etched crystal forms.
Pollucite is a rare and highly sought-after cesium-rich mineral, and well-formed transparent material suitable for gemstone cutting is uncommon. Much of the material is encountered as etched or naturally crystallized specimens, which makes transparent facet-grade pieces especially desirable.
The natural etched crystals are also excellent for mineral collections and natural-form jewellery, particularly pendants and other unique collector's jewellery designs.
