Super gemmy and lustrous yellow spodumene (var. Triphane) crystals of this quality are highly desirable and rarely encountered. I am not sure if it is twinned, as some people say they are. The sharply formed crystal has vivid yellow color and a strange, rounded termination. It LOOKS like Heliodor, but isn't. Exceptional material from Afghanistan. Ex. Marcus Budil inventory.
