What Is Hackmanite?

Hackmanite is a variety of sodalite, a mineral best known for its vivid purples, pinks, and violets. What makes hackmanite special is its color-changing ability. When exposed to sunlight or UV light, it can darken or change hue—then gradually fade back to its original shade in darkness. This unique trait is called tenebrescence.

While hackmanite can be found in several locations, Afghanistan is known for producing some of the finest quality stones, with deep colors and strong color-change effects.
