Awesome ULTRA RARE Afghan Hackmanite Faceting Rough Lot! This material ranges from a very pale purple to silver in color and is some of the cleanest material we have been able to offer in some time! The lot as a whole is running roughly 65%+ High to Top Facet Grade while the remainder is a mix of Cabbing Rough and some additional Faceting Rough that will need to be cobbed and/or sawed out!

If you do a little research in the market place you will see that Hackmanite Gems command some pretty wild numbers and this lot is a give away at this price. We ONLY have a few lots of this available at this time so don't miss your chance to own some! We don't know how much more of this material we can get so for all you collectors this is a win win situation!

1. Hackmanite is known to change color by exposure to different forms of light and its color change is known to be tenebrescent. The color of the material at times can be enhanced by storage in a dark place; however, may fade upon exposure to light. This change is repeatable and not permanent. In addition, Hackmanite also produces some wild colors under UV light and is highly sought after by collectors.

2. Hackmanite Facet Rough is a transparent variety of Sodalite that is "tenebrescent" and is extremely rare to come across. Afghanistan has been a steady supplier to mineral enthusiasts for Hackmanite crystals and we have rarely come upon any facet grade material.
