Item Description

These Sodalite specimens have provided collectors with some amazing pieces featuring some of the largest, sharpest and most colorful crystals ever seen. The colors of the Afghani Sodalite ranges from blue to purple to pink and they show an amazing fluorescence under longwave UV light. This specimen features a lovely, well-formed, fairly sharp, bluish color Sodalite crystal measuring 1.4 cm, which is good sized for the material. A colorful and attractive overall specimen of this material which has not appeared on the market for a few years now in any significance. Don't miss out on this one as the locality might be nearly exhausted since very few new specimens have found their way out of the ground. Valued at $700. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock.
