Celestite on calcite from the Laman celestine deposit, Qala e Naw District, Badghis, Afghanistan, represents an exceptional find from a relatively recent discovery that brought this unusual locality to the attention of mineral collectors in 2023. The deposit is renowned for producing richly saturated blue celestite crystals, often perched on contrasting golden-yellow to creamy calcite. This outstanding specimen is distinguished by its exceptional colour and pronounced internal zoning, revealing fascinating variations in blue saturation and transparency within the crystals. The combination of gemmy blue celestine, lustrous crystal faces, and calcite creates a particularly striking example from this emerging Afghan locality.
