Item Description

An excellent, doubly terminated, floater, gem, kunzite crystal from a rare locality which does not often produce kunzite of this quality. The nicely terminated, well-striated crystal is highly lustrous, twinned and has consistent pretty pink color. The C-axis termination shot highlights the gorgeous pink color. An older, very high quality and seldom available pristine gemstone from this uncommon California locale. Ex Howard Belsky Collection. Howard started as a mineral dealer at age 13 in 1972, became a sophisticated dealer and died tragically at age 28 in 1987. His collection recently became available to us through his family. 105 grams.
