A striking and elegant specimen featuring a richly colored purple scapolite crystal beautifully contrasted against a bright white feldspar matrix from Koksha Valley, Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan. The strong saturation of color creates excellent visual impact, while the clean matrix enhances the crystal’s presence and balance. The purple tone has been enhanced through controlled heat treatment, a common practice for scapolite, while preserving the sharp crystal form and overall integrity.

The crystal is well-formed with defined prism faces and fine vertical striations that add texture and character. Under UV light, it displays a subtle orange fluorescence, adding an additional dimension of interest. The overall contrast, color, and crystal quality make this a refined and highly display-worthy specimen.
