Description

This exceptional specimen showcases a free-standing crystal of rare Hackmanite gracefully positioned on a contrasting Calcite matrix, sourced from the mineral-rich deposits of Afghanistan. The Hackmanite, a unique and highly prized variety of Sodalite, exhibits a stunning range of hues from soft lavender to deep violet, with remarkable tenebrescence shifting colors under UV light exposure. Its well-formed, sharp crystal structure enhances its aesthetic appeal, standing prominently against the white to translucent Calcite base, which further amplifies its vibrant tones. A true collector’s treasure, this specimen highlights the rare beauty and fascinating optical properties of Hackmanite, making it a standout addition to any fine mineral collection.

Hackmanite from Afghanistan Sales Data
How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
