Detailed Description

A beautiful gemmy spodumene, with a simple, sharp termination. This crystal form looks unusual because of events during the crystallization process, but the surfaces are fully-crystallized on all sides. In excellent condition, no damage. Edge imperfections  on the lower back side have crystallized surfaces.

This is a sweet kunzite crystal.

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.
