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 sculptural water-clear crystal is beautifully striated and is doubly terminated. Both terminations are pristine and one is strangely etched. One long edge is cleaved and the kobby edge is partially cleaved, but you barely notice it. 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 the recent issue or Rocks & Minerals. Good timing! 21 grams.
