Spodumene var. Kunzite (gem "floaters")

Item Description

An excellent 3-piece deal of gemmy, extremely glassy, doubly terminated, floater, kunzite crystals with pretty lavender color from the renowned Urucum MIne. The crystals are distinctively different looking, blocky to very slender, and have etched faces from hydrothermal fluids. Beautiful and classic Brazilian kunzite. Before Afghanistan, these specimens stood as some of the finest for this variety of spodumene extant, and in regards to outright sparkly brilliance and luster, still do. Total weight is 38 grams or 20, 11 and 7 grams, repectively.
