Description

A single spodumene var kunzite crystal, gemmy water-clear and light pink, with thin iron-oxyde coatings.

Comes with old label dated 1950-1960. I was not able to indentify a locality "Cuyette" in Minas Gerais, it is likely a mispelling due to wrong pronunciation. This location is certainly the correct one: "Barra do Cuité, Conselheiro Pena, Minas Gerais, Brazil".
