Item Description
This is a wonderful classic Brazilian Kunzite specimen showing delightful hydrothermal etching on all sides. The piece is essentially a floater, as I cannot find any point of attachment. It has a lovely pink color and is nearly 100% gem quality, although it is difficult to illustrate this in the photos. Before Afghanistan, these specimens stood as some of the finest for this variety of Spodumene extant, and in regards to outright sparkly brilliance and luster, still do.
