Afganite is a rare blue mineral discovered in Afghanistan's Badakhshan Province and named in 1968. Its beauty, combined with its rarity, quickly established its status as a highly sought-after gemstone. Due to its low hardness, gem-quality specimens are rare. This piece is perfect for your collection. Please enjoy its fluorescence using a blacklight.
