Exceptional natural Triphane / Yellow Kunzite crystal with heavily etched termination and side - 294 grams.

This is a collectors quality yellow spodumene. The whole crystal is glassy and gemmy with a rich golden-yellow color. One side and the top termination are naturally etched with complex textures - a rare formation that makes it very unique. The rest of the crystal shows sharp vertical striations and excellent transparency. Looks incredible when backlit.
