Description

This remarkable crystal has incredibly good form and terminations for a San Diego kunzite. It has rich color down the c-axis. Hiriart Mtn deposit is around the corner from the actual Pala Chief Mine but is more or less the same area and this locality was also an important producer of gem-grade cutting material in the early years of the 1900s when specimen and gem mining in San Diego provided much of the world's supply of the new species kunzite.
