Spodumene (var: Kunzite) (ex David Burgess Collection)

Item Description

A classic Afghani Kunzite crystal. The crystal is notably sharp, lustrous and well-formed with a soft lilac hue. Minor attached Albite makes for a really nice accent. It should be noted that there are only a few places in the world where good Kunzites are found, but most of them are rather crude. THIS crystal however is very sharp and euhedral, which is noteworthy for the material. From the worldwide collection of David Burgess (1951-2016). David was a prolific species collector from Newington, Connecticut, and the namesake for the extremely rare cobalt arsenate species Burgessite, which he discovered.
