Item Description

A gorgeous, gemmy and lustrous, pretty light pink kunzite crystal from a NEW FIND at the less well-known Oceanview Mine from July, 2010. The sculptural water-clear crystal is beautifully striated and is doubly terminated. Both terminations are pristine and both are strangely etched. Nearly pristine, the long edge is only partly cleaved. The C-axis shots really shows the beautiful pink color. Highly representative and excellent, gem-quality cutter material from this new find, that is featured in a recent issue or Rocks & Minerals. Good timing! 44 grams.
