Description

A floater, transparent and naturally-etched spodumene specimen, terminated all around and completely free of damages. It is clear, with the ends showing a light pink colour, that is more intense under direct sunlight. The specimen is impressive on the hand, far more gemmy that shown in the pictures because of the stepping growths of the surfaces. Under long and short UV it displays a light fluorescence.

From a very uncommon locality in collections, it was found in 2007.
