Gorgeous hot pink prism of kunzite with exceptional color and gemminess. This eye-catching kunzite crystal has stunning, saturated, dark pink color with a purple tint and is transparent for much of its length. Looking down the c-axis the color is incredibly intense! Two prism faces are stylishly striated, a third has a satiny luster and the fourth prism face is vitreous and one can clearly see into the crystal. It is perfectly terminated on one end and the other end fits into a custom engraved acrylic base. Edges and crystal faces are sharp with only one slight nick on one edge that is barely discernible and this is on the back as displayed in the custom base. Ex Herb Obodda collection
