Item Description
A gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, pretty pink kunzite crystal from a NEW FIND at the less well-known Oceanview Mine from July, 2010. The water-clear crystal is beautifully striated and is doubly terminated. Both terminations are pristine and one is strangely etched. One long edge is cleaved, but you barely notice it. The C-axis shot really shows the beautiful pink color. Highly representative and excellent, gem-quality cutter material from this new find, that is featured in the newest issue or Rocks & Minerals. Good timing! 37 grams.
