Item Description
Gorgeous rich lime-green color and striking form on this gemmy, water-clear to translucent, pristine, doubly-terminated floater spodumene crystal from Pech. The waxy luster tabular crystal is dramatically enhanced by the sharp sloped etched termination and the striking multiple terminations at the base. Green crystals, such as this used to called triphane. The fine green color is actually rarer than the pink varietal, kunzite, in sharp crystals like this; and is called Triphane. This is a really saturated green, richer than the usual pale pastel hue. 203 grams, and hefty. It is a sizable and impactful display piece.
