Kokscha Valley; Koksha Valley
The Kokcha River (Persian: رودخانه کوکچه) is located in northeastern Afghanistan. A tributary of the Panj river, it flows through three districts* in Badakhshan Province in the Hindu Kush. The city of Feyzabad lies along the Kokcha. Near the village of Artin Jelow there is a bridge over the river.
* Strictly speaking it continues, near the village of Baharak, where the Warduj river meets the Kokcha. The Kokcha river then flows east, going around the northern border of Argo District and passing Feyzabad. Finally, the Kokcha enters Takhar Province, flows around the southern border of Rustaq District, and ends at the Amu Darya by Ai-Khanoum.
The Kokcha River valley is known for its lapis lazuli mining in Badakshan province. Found in marble, these deposits in the mines of Sar-e-Sang were being worked as early as the 3rd millennium BC and the Kokcha River valley is considered one of the world's leading areas of mining this reserve. The valley was the source of lapis lazuli for the ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian civilizations, as well as the later Greek and Roman. During the height of the Indus valley civilization about 2000 BC, the Harappan colony now known as Shortugai was established near the lapis mines.
More recently, during the 1980s conflict with the USSR, Afghanistan's resistance fighters disassembled unexploded Soviet land mines and ordnance and used the scavenged explosive to help mine lapis lazuli along the Kokcha river to further fund their resistance efforts.
The metamorphic deposits within the Kokcha valley include marbles with exceptional specimens of lazurite, sodalite, etc.
A hackmanite occurrence produces exceptional examples of this variety, but details as to the exact location they occur in, are as yet unavailable at Mindat. People who have visited the location and who have definitive information are invited to provide input. Many localities appear on labels, as the commercial world has endeavoured to provide specific locality information instead of providing genuine information.

The EDS pattern has the same 1:1 ratio of Al: Si as plagioclase and sodalite group minerals. Gonnardite can have this same EDS. The PXRD of Gonnardite is attached to the Marialite specimen it came from. References: |

| ⓘ Haüyne Formula: Na3Ca(Si3Al3)O12(SO4) Localities: Sar-e-Sang River, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Ladjuar Medam, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Robate Payan, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Pitwak Mine, Sar-e-Sang River, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan ? (more information) Habit: Large dodecahedra to several cm Colour: Dark blue , blue, dark green, light green Fluorescence: Orangey brown in long-wave UV light. Description: The blue haüyne has a cell edge of 9.08 A (Fernando Camera, priv. comm. 2013) and the green one 9.05 A (Fernando Camera, priv. comm. 2010). Both have similar modulated structures.
A few dozen specimens of green haüyne were recovered. Dudley Blauwet (2008) has photos of the material in situ. Fewer darker green haüynes later emerged.
PXRD at the Royal Ontario museum gave Lazurite-C with gypsum for the early green material (Malcolm Back, priv. comm. 2009). Fernando Camara (2010) found it has a cubic cell edge of 9.05 A and a 45 A modulated structure.
A Raman analysis at the University of Arizona gave both haüyne and lazurite for the blue hauyne.
The problem is that no natural sulfide-dominant lazurite has ever been observed. Such material can be synthesized but is unstable. All 'lazurite' specimens is actually sulfate-dominant haüyne. The specious argument to call some PXRD-analyse samples lazurite stems from the observation that sulfide is smaller than sulfate and so haüynes with small unit cells should have more sulfide, but there is never enough to be sulfide dominant. Furthemore, contents of impurity elements such a K influence the cell parameter. |

| ⓘ Nosean Formula: Na8(Al6Si6O24)(SO4) · H2O Localities: Habit: Exsolution specs. Colour: electric blue Fluorescence: none Description: The x-rays suggest Nosean, Lazurite or Hauyne, but EDS shows the blue specs to be nosean (contains no Ca like Lazurite or Hauyne) These 0.1 micron specs are at the current limit of single xl XRD. The nosean is exsolved from a 100 micron layer of clear sodalite. This exsolution has been observed in synthetic materials (Van Peteghen et al 1963). This clear sodalite coats and is not in epitaxi with cm sized greasy grey nepheline xls. |

| ⓘ 'Plagioclase' Formula: (Na,Ca)[(Si,Al)AlSi2]O8 |
| ⓘ Potassic-fluoro-richterite ? Formula: K(CaNa)Mg5(Si8O22)F2 Description: A Rob Lavisnky specimen from "Kokcha Valley". Work done on these amphoiboles indicates that they are K and F rich richterites, but generally not meeting the criteria for potassic-richterite, fluoro-richterite or ptassic-fluoro-richterite. This does not preclude the occurrence of potassic-fluoro-richterite at Sar-e Sang. References: |

| ⓘ 'Scapolite' Localities: Pitwak Mine, Sar-e-Sang River, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Ladjuar Medam, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Sar-e-Sang River, Sar-e-Sang, Kuran wa Munjan District, Badakhshan, Afghanistan Habit: Tetragonal Prisms , pyramidal faces, and pinacoid Colour: white grey, blue Fluorescence: bright yellow if any marialite left Description: Marialite is the only confirmed (PXRD) Scapolite from here. The surviving marialite is bright yellow under long wave UV. However, these scapolites are altering to Orthoclase which does not fluoresce. Some of these orthoclase pseudomorphs after scapolite are quite blue. Because this is from Sar-e-Sang, one immediately thinks this due to a blue feldspathoid. If this feldspathoid exists it is below the detection limits of PXRD and EDS. Apparently tiny Fe impurities can turn feldspar blue http://www.mindat.org/mesg-105-318134.html |
| ⓘ Sodalite Formula: Na4(Si3Al3)O12Cl Localities: Reported from at least 7 localities in this region. Habit: Dodecahedra to 6 cm Colour: The colours range from colourless , to grey, to yellow, to green, to lilac, to purple. The colorless to lilac and purple are photochromic. Fluorescence: The best fluorescence is under long wave. The grey sodalite has the typical yellow disulfide fluorescence under long wave. Description: The largest and best sodalite xls to 5 cm were found here |

Hackmanite Formula: Na8Al6Si6O24Cl2 Localities: Habit: Crude to sharp dodecahedra with trapezohedral modifications Colour: clear, white, grey, green, lilac, purple Fluorescence: In Long Wave UV: yellow orange, pink, white Description: These are some of the best Hackmanites ever found and show a variety of optical properties, such as darkening in the dark after bleaching in Yellow light, Reversible Photochromism (tenebrescence)with UV irradiation and yellow light. The grey sodalites contain significant K. |

| ⓘ Thomsonite-Ca Formula: NaCa2[Al5Si5O20] · 6H2O Habit: alteration product Colour: white Description: Apparently the alteration that produces green Hauynes has continued with the gonnardite to produce mixtures of Gonnardite and Thompsonite. This Thompsonite is only known from the PXRD of Gonnardite with green Hauyne References: |
| ⓘ 'Thorianite-Uraninite Series' Habit: Tiny cubes but usually mm sized grains Colour: Black Fluorescence: none Description: The black dots described in Crawford (2021) were EDXed as Uraninite dominant member of this series.
