Afghanite is a rare blue mineral belonging to the tectosilicate group, specifically the sodalite group. It was first discovered in Afghanistan, after which it got its name. Its chemical composition includes aluminum, sodium, calcium, and chlorine, and its crystal structure is hexagonal. Afghanite is mainly found in blue to light blue, but can also have white or yellow shades. This mineral is often found in metamorphic rocks and is prized by mineral collectors for its beautiful color and rarity.
