Item Description

We are always on the lookout for truly different spodumene pieces, for specimens with shocking color and form. This pretty pastel-green triphane certainly certainly qualifies for form! This incredibly etched tabular gem crystal is intensely striated, which accentuates the waxy luster. The striking, supremely etched upper termination has a sculptural cityscape or ship-shape superstructure. Facinating and pristine. 154 grams. Valued at $1000-1250 for amazing form.
