Afghanite is a member of the cancrinite group first described in 1968 as a new species from the Sar-e-Sang lazurite deposit in Afghanistan. However, specimens of the mineral were first collected more than a century earlier from the Mount Vesuvius area. The material was partially described and named "natrodavyne" in 1910, but was then lost until being recently re-identified.
