Item Description
An aesthetic bi-colored spodumene combination matrix piece from the Herb Obodda dealer stock. The two striking parallel-growth, lustrous, striated, spodumene crystals have gem triphane (pastel green) upper sections above gemmy kunzite (pastel pink) lower sections. The terminations are typically frosted to lightly etched. The stout, frosted, sharply terminated quartz crystals and the nifty, 6 mm, green, gem tourmaline are super accents. Interestingly, the C-axis shot shows the large crystal to be green dominant, while the smaller crystal is pink dominant. There is one clean repair to both spodumene crystals, which has minimal impact on the overall quality. A beautiful, 360-degree, uncommon, matrix, bi-colored spodumene combination specimen. BETTER IN PERSON.
