UVライト下にある、卓越した蛍光性を示す珍しいアフガニサイト標本 Mineral Collection - Height: 57 mm - Width: 39 mm- 76 g

An exceptional natural Afghanite crystal specimen from the renowned Badakhshan mines of Afghanistan, weighing approximately 76 grams and measuring 57 × 39 × 27 mm. The specimen features a prominent Afghanite crystal naturally positioned on top of a contrasting white mineral matrix. The main crystal displays an attractive natural blue colour, natural terminations, and a lustrous surface with well-defined natural faces. The crystal is translucent, allowing light to pass through and highlighting its beautiful natural appearance. The specimen is in excellent natural condition, with no repairs. One of the most fascinating features of this specimen is its fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light, where the colour changes from blue in normal light to a striking yellow fluorescence, creating a remarkable visual contrast with the matrix. Afghanite is a relatively rare mineral, making specimens with attractive crystals and distinctive fluorescent properties particularly desirable among mineral collectors. This specimen is self-standing and can be displayed easily, making it an excellent addition to a mineral collection or a distinctive display piece. A beautiful and collectible Afghanite specimen combining natural blue colour, an attractive crystal formation, a contrasting white matrix, and remarkable UV fluorescence.
