From: Helmand, Afghanistan
Size: 18.5 x 12 x 6cm
Weight: 1210g
We've sold a lot of blue aragonite over the years, but these new specimens from Afghanistan are easily our favorites, and they are by far the best from Helmand we have ever seen! You have to see them in person to fully appreciate the color and form, but they look like blue styrofoam or blue spray insulation. The color is amazing, and at first we thought maybe they had been dyed, but upon closer inspection you can see the growth layers of differing shades of blue in the cross-section, so these are definitely not dyed.
This is is particularly large with excellent blue color. It has a nice mix of the blue aragonite with a dusting of some white aragonite in patches which make this somewhat unique compared to the other Helmand specimens. The matrix is sandstone.
The specimen comes with a custom display base.
