Rich Florescent rare Hauynite under UV Light Rough- 42 g - (60)

atural Fluorescent Hauyne (Hauynite) Rough Lot – Badakhshan, Afghanistan – 42 g Offering a rare and attractive lot of natural fluorescent Hauyne (Hauynite) rough from the Badakhshan mines of Afghanistan, with a total weight of approximately 42 grams comprising 60 individual pieces. This carefully selected parcel contains facet-grade rough pieces with an impressive combination of lustre, transparency, natural colour and size. The pieces have been hand-selected from a larger parcel, focusing on material with better transparency and jewellery potential. Several pieces are suitable for cutting into faceted gemstones, including sizes that can potentially produce attractive stones for rings and other jewellery. One of the most remarkable features of this lot is its fluorescence under UV light. The photographs clearly demonstrate the striking colour response, with the material showing yellow, vivid green and bluish-green fluorescent colours under UV illumination. This makes the parcel particularly interesting for collectors as well as gem cutters. The rough pieces exhibit good transparency, which is relatively uncommon in Hauyne, where transparent material can be difficult to find. Natural inclusions are present in pieces, adding to their natural character. The colour of the material is completely natural, with no indication of heating or other treatment. The lot contains a pleasing range of green and blue-green natural colours, with good-sized pieces for rough material. The accompanying photographs show the material under different lighting conditions, including its UV fluorescence and colour response.
