Three Spodumenes Kunar, Afghanistan Three specimens of spodumene from a locality that is currently one of the most prolific suppliers of this species. A tall twinned green spodumene var. hiddenite, measuring approximately 10.7 x 3 x 2.2 cm, and two pink crystals of the variety kunzite. One kunzite is a complete, heavily striated flat bladed crystal, measuring approximately 14.5 x 6.2 x 1 cm, the other is a long etched fragment, measuring approximately 11 x 3.3 x 2 cm. Spodumene is commonly found as remnants of crystals that have been etched, particularly along cleavage planes, by late-stage fluids. Such fragments are evidenced by the presence of etch pitting on all, especially cleavage, surfaces and should not be considered broken but the product of pegmatite evolution. (3) Footnotes: Please note that there are three items in this lot, refer to all available photos on the website.
