A big, fat, fine kunzite gem crystal weighing over 250 grams! It is complete all around, terminated undamaged, and shows fine transparency through its entire length! Most importantly, you have the textbook sharp termination which you almost never see in practice, in a big kunzite gem crystal. Usually they are etched, or asymmetric. This is starkly sharp! The crystal grades from a pale pink at the top to a more intense pink at the bottom. 10.3 x 3.2 x 2.9cm
