Description

Superb gem-grade crystal of green Spodumene. Its color shifts from greenish-yellow from the front to pale violet when viewed from the top (down the C-axis). The crystal is highly transparent. This form of Spodumene is often regarded as Hiddenite, although strictly speaking Hiddenite only comes from North Carolina.
