This natural specimen features a vivid purple Spinel crystal elegantly perched on a contrasting white Calcite matrix from Afghanistan’s renowned mineral-rich zones. The Spinel displays excellent crystal definition, with sharp octahedral faces and a rich purple hue that deepens under direct light. Its bright luster and translucence highlight the gem-quality nature of the mineral. The Calcite provides a striking visual balance, offering a clean, sculptural base that enhances the Spinel’s vibrant color and precise form. Together, the minerals create a harmonious and eye-catching composition prized by collectors. Representing the geological beauty and rarity of Afghan mineral deposits, this specimen is an exceptional addition to any curated mineral collection, admired for both its aesthetic and scientific value.
