Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of GEM sodalite from Afghanistan!!! This specimen hosts a rich display of sharp, glassy, complex crystals of GEM blue sodalite in association with
brilliantly metallic pyrite crystals and rare bright orange crystals of Mn-wurtzite!!! While it is difficult to discern in
the pictures, most of the crystals are actually complete - however
their gemmy clarity and complex glassy faces make them difficult to distinguish!!! The color of the crystals ranges from sky blue to intense royal blue, depending on the size and thickness of the crystals!!!
In addition to these exceptional sodalite crystals, there are numerous brightly metallic pyrite crystals, including a larger one on the side of the specimen, and some tiny crystals of
bright orange Mn-wurtzite!!! This gem material came from a small, limited find and is quite scarce!!! The pics don't even come close to doing it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 26th!!!
