This 13 carat faceted gonnardite gemstone originates from Badakhshan, Afghanistan, a region recognized for producing exceptional rare minerals. The stone has been expertly faceted to showcase its brilliance, clarity, and unique appearance, making it highly appealing to both collectors and jewelry designers.
Gonnardite is a rare zeolite mineral belonging to the sodalite group, with the chemical composition (Na,Ca)₂(Si,Al)₆O₁₂·2–3H₂O. Its scarcity in faceted form makes it particularly valuable, as most specimens are typically found in raw crystalline habits. This cut gem reveals the beauty of a mineral not often encountered in the gemstone market.

Its distinct character, paired with its origin from the mineral-rich region of Badakhshan, ensures it stands out as a unique addition to any fine gemstone collection.
