Gemmy Kunzite (unusual form) Hunt Coll.

Item Description

Strangely formed large doubly terminated kunzite crystal with a striking notch and "tail" from the well-known Pech pegmatites. The body of the crystal is almost entirely transparent, with the "tail" being translucent. The jagged terminations and typical waxy luster well-striated prism faces highlight the piece. A dissolved away crystal of another species must have interrupted the kunzite crystal growth. One side prism face appears to be partially cleaved, but it's hard to tell and is acceptable in the context of spodumene specimens. The C-axis views really highlight the rich lilac color of the crystal. Bizarre looking and choice Pech kunzite from the Taylor Hunt collection. Mass is 124 grams. Valued $2500-3500
