Spodumene (gemmy crystal)

Item Description

Afghanistan, for many years has been the source of some of the best quality examples of crystallized, gem quality Spodumene ever found. Most people are familiar with the famous pink Kunzite crystals from Afghanistan, but the mineral is actually found in several colors. This piece is a well-formed, gemmy, light yellow-green colored, prismatic, crystal of Triphane Spodumene, with no matrix. The crystal is in good condition all around, as both ends have beautiful etching, making this nearly a complete "floater", as it's essentially crystallized all around. One end has elegant little "teeth"-like terminations. Very attractive and certainly worth owning if you're a fan of gem crystals, or minerals from Afghanistan. It's nearly water-clear in the center as you can see. Specimen weight is 208.0 grams.
