Giant Blue Aragonite from Afghanistan

Size: 20.5 x 15.5 x 7.3cm 

Weight: 2514g

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 one is HUGE! It is by far the largest we have been able to acquire. It also has excellent color. The only notable area of damage is at the top-right you can see where a crystal broke off revealing the layers of blue and white like tree rings. 

The specimen comes with a custom display base.
