Discover the exotic beauty of Afghanite, a rare and coveted gemstone named after the ancient land of its discovery. Sourced primarily from the remote Sar-e-Sang mines of Badakhshan, this mineral is a true collector's prize, celebrated for its stunning royal blue hue that rivals the finest Lapis Lazuli.
But Afghanite holds a secret. While it looks cool and tranquil in daylight, it comes alive under ultraviolet light. When exposed to Long Wave UV (blacklight), most Afghanite specimens erupt with a brilliant bright orange fluorescence, creating a breathtaking contrast against the blue stone.
From my collection - I have been a master goldsmith, gem cutter and gemologist for almost 40 years. I have only collected the best. EVERYTHING CERTIFIED IN GERMANY, sometimes also in Sri Lanka's state gems laboratory. I can help with jewelry design - I can cut my stones to size if requested.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
