Item Description

Aesthetically emplaced on albite and quartz is a doubly terminated crystal of kunzite, measuring 8 cm in length and nearly an inch wide (2 cm) and 1.5 cm thick. It has SATURATED, TOP color! The kunzite is lustrous and very gemmy with a super purplish pink color. Very Minor edge wear does not materially diminish the value or beauty of the kunzite crystal. It sits nicely on a shelf and jumps out, and stands with any valuable tourmalines or other gem crystals on its own merit. The specimen is from old Obodda dealer stock, cleaned up, and should be worth $2500-3500 easily enough.
