Spectacular Twin Afghanite Crystal On Matrix
Afghanite is a rare and stunning mineral first discovered in the Koksha Valley of Badakhshan, Afghanistan in the 1960s.
Known for its vibrant blue color, ranging from deep azure to lighter shades, it often forms in hexagonal crystals or massive clusters. Afghanite is typically found alongside minerals like lazurite, calcite, and pyrite, especially in the famous Lapis Lazuli deposits of the Koksha Valley.
This region is considered the very best source of afghanite, producing specimens with unmatched color and crystal quality. Its striking appearance and rarity make it a favorite among collectors and gem enthusiasts.
Afghanite is also scientifically interesting due to its unique chemical makeup, which includes sodium, calcium, aluminum, and sulfate groups. Specimens from the Koksha Valley are highly prized for their rich color and well-formed crystals, setting the standard for quality worldwide. However, due to political instability and limited access to mining areas in Afghanistan, authentic afghanite from this region has become increasingly rare, adding to its value and allure in the mineral world.
Presenting:
extremely rare twin afghanite crystal with pyrite on matrix from koksha valley, badakshan, Afghanistan
Specimen weight: 485 carat
Dimension: 55x 57x 26x mm
Treatment: natural

Crystals ruining my life
On 6th of January, I ordered a Jade necklace, Rose Quartz and also an Obsidian necklace. Since the 7th of January, it feels like I have the worst luck. My anxiety is through the roof. It feels like the crystals are ruining my life. So far I’ve only worn the Rose Quartz necklace once. My work life feels unlucky, my boss seems to suddenly hate me. My relationship is 247 arguing. Money doesn’t seem to be flowing to me like it was before. I’m in debt. I got banned from the gym for arguing and I’ve got a police interview this month. Im worried I might get into serious trouble.
Please help !
