This is a unique 11 carat faceted gemstone from Badakhshan, Afghanistan, featuring a striking bi-color combination of fluorescent sodalite and scapolite. Expertly cut to showcase its brilliance, this stone displays an appealing contrast that makes it stand out among collector gemstones.
Sodalite, known for its rich blue hues, often fluoresces under UV light, while scapolite, with formula (Na,Ca)₄(Si,Al)₁₂O₂₄
, is another fluorescent mineral admired for its strong glow and crystalline structure. Beyond Afghanistan, sodalite and scapolite are also found in Canada, Myanmar, and Tanzania, but specimens of this size and combination remain uncommon.
With its rare dual-fluorescent effect, faceted finish, and bi-color character, this gemstone is ideal for serious collectors, connoisseurs of unusual minerals, or as a standout piece for custom jewelry. It offers both scientific interest and aesthetic beauty.
