Rare Yellow Spodumene Crystal | Gem Grade Etched Double Termination Specimen, KO2

Yellow spodumene crystal specimen of gem-grade clarity, featuring beautifully etched terminations on both ends, sourced from the renowned Pech Valley in Kunar, Afghanistan.

This exceptional crystal displays a refined elongated prismatic habit with remarkable transparency, allowing light to pass cleanly through its structure. The rare yellow coloration, distinct from the more commonly known pink kunzite, adds a layer of uniqueness highly sought after by advanced collectors. Both terminations exhibit natural etching, a result of dynamic growth and partial dissolution processes, creating fine surface textures that contrast elegantly with the crystal’s otherwise glassy clarity.

Measuring 165 mm (6.50 inches) in height, 29 mm (1.14 inches) in width, and 11 mm (0.43 inches) in thickness, and weighing 259 g, this is a striking elongated specimen with a commanding yet refined presence. Its slender proportions emphasize verticality, while internal features such as faint veils and subtle inclusions confirm its natural origin without diminishing its faceting-grade quality.

Spodumene from the Pech Valley is internationally recognized for producing some of the finest gem-quality crystals, prized for their size, clarity, and structural integrity. Yellow spodumene in particular is considerably rarer, especially in specimens that retain both terminations with natural etching intact. Pieces of this caliber bridge the gap between fine mineral specimen and lapidary potential, making them increasingly desirable.

Often associated with clarity of thought and gentle revitalizing energy, yellow spodumene carries a quiet luminosity, well-suited to spaces that emphasize light, openness, and intention.
