This water-clear crystal is colour-zoned, from pale pink/lavender at the bottom to colourless at the termination. The crystal is sharp with good lustre. In excellent condition, no damage. The imperfection at the back of the termination is a fully crystallized feature. A cute gem.

About these Spodumene Crystals

These spodumene crystals are from a 2017 pocket that produced colour-zoned (lilac/pink – pale green – colourless) crystals, along with some specimens that were purely lilac/pink and some that had no such hues at all. Although spodumene crystals are often etched or poorly defined, this pocket included sharp well-formed crystals and relatively low incidence of etching/dissolution features.
