Mineral: | Spodumene, Variety: Kunzite
| Chemical Formula: | LiAl(SiO3)2
| Size: | | Weight: | | Transparence: | | Quantity: | | Origin: | Mawi Pegmatite, Laghman (Lagman; Nuristan) Province, Afghanistan | Beautiful clear blade-shaped kunzite crystal. This spodumene shows terrific transparency which is sadly not that easy visible due to the strong crystal striations. In the middle of the crystal you can see hollow tubes going throughout the whole crystal. The terminations at both sides are very sharp and fine crystallized, even striations visible. Along the c-axis the specimen discloses the typical neon pinkish red coloration.
