Darra-i-Pech (Darra-e-Pech) Pegmatite Field, Nangarhar (Ningarhar) Province, Afghanistan 2.2 x 1.7 x 1.6 cm. This is a superb, gemmy thumbnail specimen. The piece is totally transparent and has good color made a little less intense by the transparency as internal veils serve to magnify the color in other pieces. |
