Summary

Description
English: Sodalite
Locality: Koksha Valley (Kokscha; Kokcha), Badakhshan (Badakshan; Badahsan) Province, Afghanistan (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: thumbnail, 2.8 x 2.1 x 1.3 cm
Hackmanite (variety of Sodalite) (fluor)
A remarkable, sharp, isolated Hackmanite (Sodalite) crystal, the quality of which I have not often seen. It is actually complete all around, nicely perched and exposed so the backside is revealed as well. The light lavender-colored crystal is 1.3 cm across, gemmy to translucent, very lustrous, and sharp. This well formed dodecahedron has beveled edges which add greatly to the interest, as does a lovely rose fluorescence. An excellent thumbnail example.
