Afghanite Raw (Badakhshan, Afghanistan)
First discovered in 1968, Afghanite is a rare and highly demanded material that comes from Afghanistan. Its intense blue colour is reminiscent of Lapis Lazuli, which also comes from the same region.
It is so coveted that, in some cases, Lapis Lazuli is passed off as Afghanite (despite how expensive Lapis Lazuli can get!).
Sometimes, azurite granite is also sold as Afghanite.
So, how can you tell if your Afghanite is real?
Real Afghanite is UV-Reactive (short and long wave), whereas Lapis Lazuli and Azurite Granite are not.
Does it remind your of sodalite? That's because Afghanite belongs to the same family as sodalite!
Metaphysically, the benefits are similar. According to Le Comptoir Geologie, Afghanite helps one to think more clearly, and helps one to acquire knowledge.
This is a perky set of three larger and very gemmy Afghanite raw pieces. Intensely blue, these react a beautiful peach pink under UV-light. The biggest piece is the most blue and gemmy - if it were larger, it might be faceted into a gem too.
