A vivid, sharp, defined example of kunzite from the famous, sought-after Afghani mines for gem kunzite at its highest quality. This is an unusual elongated crystal with highly unusual sharp terminations on both ends, complete all around, like a floating pink icicle! Kunzite is the pink variety of spodumene. This stunning, cabinet-sized kunzite checks all the boxes when it comes to color, luster, and clarity. This specimen has crazy window-clear gemminess, with luster that slicks off the surfaces. The color is outstanding—a glowing, vivid pinkish-purple, with great pleochroism, ranging from a soft lilac color to electric lavender. The kunzite displays undulating chevron faces and crisp striations that bring definition to the piece. This would make an exquisite, contemporary addition to any collection of gem crystals.
