Item Description
A water-clear, gem, doubly terminated, triphane (yellow-green spodumene) from Pech. This waxy luster crystal has a pleasing light yellow-green apple color. The distinctively different etched/frosted terminations above two, gem-clear prism faces and three, striated/frosted faces adds even more pazzazz to the aesthetics and crystal beauty. A bit of internal crazing adds character. This is a very fine, pristine, floater crystal from this noted locale. 50 grams. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Herb valued this piece at $350, five or more years ago. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!
