| 07149: Spodumene variety Kunzite - $275 Pala Chief Mine, Chief Mountain, Pala Mining District, San Diego County, California Cabinet - 13.1 x 5.9 x 1.9 cm 280 grams Fluorescent (LW/SW) Specimen status: Available Send an email with specimen number to order A tabular and highly translucent
spodumene variety kunzite with very good lilac color.
Complete all around; slight natural etching on the
terminations (very typical of the locality/species) but
not cleaved along the c-axis (which in kunzite is quite
sensitive to cleaving). Nice fluorescence: orange under
longwave UV (blacklight) and purple under shortwave UV. I
obtained this specimen directly from the mine owner in
October of 2006. Superb condition.
