AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
These Hackmanite specimens from Badakhshan, Afghanistan show strong tenebrescence, a very rare colour-change effect.
Under UV light they turn a deep dark purple, and after exposure the colour slowly fades back to their normal daylight colour within 24 hours. This natural phenomenon is uncommon and highly valued among fluorescence collectors.
In addition to tenebrescence, the pieces display bright pink–orange to red fluorescence under long-wave UV light. In daylight they show attractive purple–violet zoning on a pale matrix. All pieces are natural, untreated, and selected for strong UV reaction and colour-change performance.
Seller's Story
I specialize in natural gemstones, crystals, and mineral specimens, carefully sourced from trusted locations around the world — including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Brazil, Madagascar, and Africa.
Many of my finest pieces come directly from my family’s private mine in Afghanistan, originally established by my father. This legacy allows me to access unique and high-quality mineral formations that are rarely found on the market.
My collection features authentic Kunzite, Tourmaline, Lapis Lazuli, Aquamarine, Spessartine, Peridot, and other rare minerals, each selected with geological expertise and passion.
As an active participant in international gem and mineral exhibitions across Europe, America, Japan, and China, I focus on offering collectors and enthusiasts only genuine and ethically sourced natural specimens.
Every listing is prepared with transparency, accuracy, and professional care to ensure the highest standard of authenticity and buyer satisfaction.
