A complete spodumene crystal, mostly translucent, with enough yellow color (especially when illuminated) to earn the triphane moniker. Orange fluorescence under longwave UV (blacklight). Notable for its glassiness and aesthetic, natural etching. Complete all around; a floater. Has displayability not fully captured in the photos. Excellent condition.
