Item Description

A beautiful and highly sculptural classic Afghani Spodumene specimen with a soft greenish-golden hue. The crystal is a complete "floater", and even though it's highly etched, it's actually doubly-terminated (multi-terminated), because it's crystallized on both ends. Specimen weight is 81.51 grams. It's hard to show in the video, but the piece is somewhat gemmy internally when backlit. Fine quality, and a beautiful example of these classic and distinctive Spodumenes.
