Item Description

Gorgeous, intense, lilac color characterizes this stout, prismatic, sharply terminated, kunzite crystal from Nuristan. This is a doubly terminated, glassy, well-striated floater. The lilac portion of the crystal is water-clear and extremely gemmy, with the other portion being translucent, milky-pink. Complete all-around and pristine, the back of the crystal is contacted, but has no damage, per se. This crystal weighs 240 grams and much of it is GEM material. The C-axis shot really highlights gorgeous, pink color saturation. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued at $650. MUCH, MUCH BETTER PERSON! The gemminess and glassiness made photography difficult. Classic color for a large spodumene.
