A truly intense blue indicolite crystal, showing a purple cap as well! This is a super-rare example of fat Afghani indicolite because many of them are too thin to have good color or too fat to show it. This is just right, conveying the riveting color quite nicely at the termination. It is, as with most of itsd type from here, more opaque into the crystal and lower down. This is complete all around and free of damage. Note also the little smoky quartz on the side.
