We have an ongoing supply of Neon Blue to Indigo Fluorite from a fairly new find in Khandahar, Afghanistan. The color of these stones rivals Paraiba Tourmaline in hue and intensity. This is a must have for the Fluorite collector and an oddity to find in the rough. I would say roughly 70%+ of this material is medium to high grade facet rough. These are not little pieces with the average weight running 42+ Carats. Many of the stones do contain some slightly silk veiling; however, after you cobb this material I'm confident you will want as much as you can get your hands on! This is the FINEST colored Fluorite we have seen in the market and Afghan Fluorite is fast becoming the standard for Top Neon Blue Fluorite! Please note that the color in the pictures varies a bit because of lighting and this material changes color a bit depending on the light source!

1. This is a fairly new find of Fluorite coming from Southern Afghanistan. It is interesting to note that this find has significantly increased the territory and land mass thought to house Rough Gemstone deposits in Afghanistan and South Asia in general. Prior to recent Demantoid and Fluorite finds in Southern Afghanistan only Northern Afghanistan was known to produce significant quantities of Gemstones.

2. The Khandahar Fluorite find is a massive find and unlike most Gemstones found in Afghanistan, it RARELY occurs in crystal form. It is mined in massive veins containing thick shafts of Fluorite running several meters deep.
