This is quite interesting - apparently among the recent finds of green Hauyne in Afghanistan the very occasional piece of bright yellow material is discovered as well. This is untreated material and is certainly not Sodalite. There are almost none of these and we have never seen one with excellent clarity, it is looking to be simply an extremely rare find among the greens. The color is fascinating, almost Australian Prehnite-like in intensity and hue. Moderately included at best, but nicely done and a truly exceptional rarity.
