KUNZITE
Darra-i-Pech Pegmatite Field, Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan
This blocky Kunzite crystal dates to the 1970's when it was considered quite the extraordinary find. It was prominently featured in the April 1980 issue of the Lapidary Journal in an article about the "Spectacular Specimens of the Seventies". This very fine crystal features complex growth helix on the termination and has excellent color. Ex Steve & Clara Smale collection, it has a custom labeled base. Overall specimen measurements are 4 x 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches.
