Item Description
A dramatic and excellent, large, doubly terminated spodumene with quartz from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The glassy, transparent to translucent crystal is a light pastel-pink, thus kunzite (better in person). The C-axis shot highlights the pretty lilac color. Jauntily attached to two sides of the tabular, parallel-growth kunzites are glassy quartz crystals. The kunzite is nearly pristine, with only a couple of spots of trivial bruising. The primary quartz crystals are pristine and one is doubly terminated. This is an impressive and showy combination specimen from this locale. Valued by Herb at $2200, more than five years ago. Valued today at $1500. MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
