This striking specimen weighs 27 Gram and displays a brilliant fluorescent, phosphorescent Hackmanite crystal with sharp tenebrescent (color change) properties from Badakhshan, Afghanistan. Under UV light, the crystal glows intensely, and when exposed to sunlight or UV, it undergoes a remarkable reversible color shift.

Hackmanite is a sulfur-rich variety of sodalite with the chemical formula Na₈Al₆Si₆O₂₄(Cl₂,S), well-known for its rare tenebrescence phenomenon. Its strong UV response and phosphorescence make it a highly sought-after mineral. Hackmanite deposits are found in Afghanistan, Canada, and Greenland, but Afghan specimens are among the most vibrant and collectible.

With its combination of fluorescence, phosphorescence, and sharp color change, this Hackmanite crystal is an extraordinary piece for collectors. It is ideal for mineral enthusiasts, UV display collections, or anyone looking for a truly unique natural wonder.
