Rare Fluorescent Afghanite with Natural Pyrite – Blue to Yellow UV Fluorescence – 138 Grams – Badakhshan, Afghanistan An exceptionally attractive and rare natural Afghanite specimen with a beautiful combination of Afghanite and Pyrite crystals, originating from the famous Badakhshan mines of Afghanistan. This impressive specimen weighs 138 grams and measures 88 × 45 × 20 mm. The front side of this specimen is beautifully covered with numerous naturally formed blue Afghanite crystals, creating an attractive contrast against the surrounding mineral matrix. The lower area of the front face also features a remarkable natural combination of golden Pyrite crystals, adding further character and visual appeal to the specimen. The back side offers a completely different appearance, being free of Afghanite crystals and beautifully covered with natural golden-colored Pyrite. This interesting contrast between both sides makes the specimen particularly attractive from different viewing angles. One of its most fascinating features is its fluorescence under UV light. The natural blue Afghanite crystals change their color to a beautiful yellow fluorescence under UV illumination, as clearly demonstrated in the uploaded photographs. All Afghanite crystals are naturally formed and terminated, displaying attractive transparency and distinctive lustre. The Pyrite crystals also show their beautiful natural golden metallic appearance. Another excellent feature is its elongated natural structure and self-standing position, allowing the specimen to be displayed easily without additional support. Afghanite specimens are relatively uncommon, and finding such an attractive combination of natural blue Afghanite and golden Pyrite, together with an impressive fluorescent effect, makes this piece particularly desirable for mineral collectors. A wonderful collector's specimen featuring two naturally contrasting minerals, beautiful crystal formations and fascinating UV fluorescence. An excellent addition to any serious mineral collection!
