Item Description
Spodumene specimens are rare from this well-known Mozambique district. This sculptural, pristine, water-clear, tabular, gem crystal has fine yellow-green color (triphane) with waxy luster and well-striated sides. Doubly terminated, the ends are strikingly different!! It looks like a spearpoint. Very fine and rare material from this locale. Probably older material, but no proof. 50 grams. MUCH, MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!!
