This 875 gram specimen presents a striking display of fluorescent wernerite scapolite crystals sourced from Badakhshan, Afghanistan. The scapolite shows distinct crystal habit and strong fluorescence under ultraviolet light, making it an outstanding example for collectors who value size and mineralogical presence. Its impressive weight and well-formed surfaces give the piece both aesthetic and scientific appeal.
The matrix hosts fluorescent calcite that glows vibrantly under UV, adding dramatic visual contrast to the scapolite crystals. Phlogopite mica provides reflective golden-brown layers, introducing texture and complexity to the specimen. Scattered pyrite inclusions contribute metallic sparkle, creating a dynamic interplay of luster and form across the specimen. Together, these minerals form a remarkable association rarely seen in pieces of this magnitude.
Specimens from Badakhshan combining wernerite scapolite with calcite, phlogopite, and pyrite are highly prized in the collector community. The combination of fluorescence, crystal habit, and multi-mineral association makes this piece ideal for display or inclusion in an advanced collection. Its unique composition and sheer size set it apart as a rare and valuable collector specimen.
