The Afghanite crystals display a captivating combination of deep blue and a lighter sky-blue hue, creating a stunning contrast against the Calcite backdrop. These well-formed crystals, with their sharp edges and pristine surfaces, are a testament to the high-quality mineral specimens that hail from the remote regions of Afghanistan. The Pyrite adds a touch of golden brilliance, enhancing the overall visual appeal and making this piece a true collector's gem. The interplay of colors and textures in this specimen highlights the natural beauty and geological complexity of this rare and sought-after mineral combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eProduct Information:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable width=\"529\" height=\"207\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center; width: 65.183px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center;\"\u003eSpecimen Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 442.417px;\"\u003eAfghanite crystals on Calcite with Pyrite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center; width: 65.183px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 442.417px;\"\u003e401 grams\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center; width: 65.183px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center;\"\u003eDimension\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 442.417px;\"\u003eH: 8 x W: 6.5 x D: 5.2 cm \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center; width: 65.183px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center;\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 442.417px;\"\u003eLadjuar Madan, Sar-e-Sang, Koksha Valley, Badakshan Province, Afghanistan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center; width: 65.183px;\" data-mce-style=\"padding: 10px; text-align: center;\"\u003eTreatment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 442.417px;\"\u003eNone \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfghanite Description:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfghanite Crystal is a very rare hydrous sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, sulfate, and carbonate alumina-silicate mineral. As you may really see, it’s a very complicated mineral with an even extra unusual crystal shape. it can occur in long prismatic crystals, double-terminated as bi pyramid crystals, or as crusts coating a matrix (generally calcite or marble). This mineral stages in color from light sky blue to a dark navy, but also can be seen as colorless and transparent. Afghanite was first discovered in 1968 by R. Giraud, F. Cesbron, and P. Bariand. They named it after the USA.  They discovered it in, Afghanistan. it can be specifically traced to the Badakhshan region located within the northeastern corner of the country.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfghanite Associations:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ctbody data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"204\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChakras\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"420\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThird Eye Chakra, Crown Chakra\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"204\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLuster\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"420\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVitreous\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"204\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eZodiac\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"420\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eScorpio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"204\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTenacity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"420\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBrittle\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"204\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardness\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"420\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5.5-6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"204\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eColor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-mce-fragment=\"1\" width=\"420\"\u003e\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhite, light blue, dark blue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHealing Properties of Afghanite:                         \u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAfghanite activates your specific psychic skills to help you obtain messages from your spirit guides and guardian angels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis mineral helps one become greater conscious of the minor information in any surroundings and recognize the actual meaning behind sure symbolism being depicted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- wp:paragraph \/--\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gandhara Fine Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":52611433595243,"sku":"APC-00-100","price":850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/6325\/3099\/files\/mm4_9b6f06e2-1a75-4695-bb32-1be9da147d9a.jpg?v=1763991011","url":"https:\/\/gandharafineminerals.com\/products\/afghanite-crystals-on-calcite-with-pyrite-shop-now","provider":"Gandhara Fine Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
