Breathtaking Paraiba Windex Blue colored Cut Fluorite from  Khandahar, Afghanistan. It is important to note that this stone was faceted IN Pakistan and as such the faceting is not the best and this stone should ideally be recut. If this were cut better we wouldn't be selling it for less than $5.00 per carat ourselves! Recutting this should enhance this stone's value several fold and we have priced this as we would Top Fluorite Faceting Rough.

This stone does have some minor inclusions; however, that is to be expected with the stone weighing in over 100 carats and the color being this intense. The inclusions in this are typical of Afghan Fluorite and include veils and silk though this is a site to behold. The stone faces up very well and will make any Fluorite collector proud! The Afghans do sell quite a bit of Fluorite Rough; however, anything large and nice is usually faceted locally because of the value it commands locally.

This is super colored Fluorite and Afghan Fluorite is the standard for top Neon Blue Fluorite! Please note that the color in the pictures varies a bit because of lighting and this material changes color a bit depending on the light source! We picked this up at a steal and are passing the savings on to you. I don't think you could get a better price on this anywhere else! Cutting costs alone are generally $1-$2 Per Carat for Fluorite and at our price this is a give-away!

1. This is a fairly new find of Fluorite coming from Southern Afghanistan. It is interesting to note that this find has significantly increased the territory and land mass thought to house Rough Gemstone deposits in Afghanistan and South Asia in general. Prior to recent Demantoid and Fluorite finds in Southern Afghanistan only Northern Afghanistan was known to produce significant quantities of Gemstones.

2. The Khandahar Fluorite find is a massive find and unlike most Gemstones found in Afghanistan, it RARELY occurs in crystal form. It is mined in massive veins containing thick shafts of Fluorite running several meters deep.
