DESCRIPTION:

HUGEEEEE Neon Sea-Green to Neon Green Fluorite from a fairly new find in Khandahar, Afghanistan. This is such a spectacular color and a must have for every collection. This is the largest piece I have gotten my hands on of this material and it is extremely clean! I would say about 40%+ of this rough is capable of cutting eye-clean range material. This is a must have for the Fluorite collector and an oddity to find in the rough. There is some silk veiling, color banding and some inclusions present in this stone; however, most of them are confined to about 50% of the stone and there is no question about you getting a HUGE finished stone out of here that is EXTREMELY clean if not eye-clean!

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!

COOL FACTS:
  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.
