Item Description
A superb, vivid pink, gem, doubly terminated, kunzite crystal from Afghanistan. The vibrancy of the lilac color is stunning from any angle and the jagged, sawtooth, serrated terminations are surreal. This doubly terminated super crystal is complete all-around and is essentially pristine (a floater), with only super-trivial, barely noticeable termination wear. THE COLOR ON THIS PIECE IS FANCY HOT PINK...NOT JUST "PINK", AND SHOWS FROM ALL ANGLES WITHOUT THE USUAL NEED TO LIGHT THE LONG (C) AXIS SPECIFICALLY. Ex Stewart and Sinotte Collection, and a literal jewel of a gem crystal floater. 580 carats or 116 grams mass. Comes with a custom-made and engraved lucite base valued at $145, for free. Valued at $1750-2250 and well worth it.
