An Elongated Yellow Triphane Crystal With a Notably Long Profile
This 54 gram triphane crystal stands out for its proportions, measuring 79 x 28 x 16 mm, considerably longer and thinner relative to its weight than most triphane specimens coming out of Afghanistan. Where a lot of kunzite and triphane crystals grow in more blocky, compact habits, this piece stretched out into a genuinely elongated, prismatic form, giving it a different visual read than a shorter, denser crystal of similar weight.
The mountain shape termination that defines this locality's triphane is present here too, a jagged, stepped point rather than a single clean tip, but on a crystal this long, the termination reads almost like a natural flourish at the end of an already striking shape rather than the sole focal point. Color and clarity hold up well across the full length of the crystal, with the natural yellow tone staying consistent from base to tip rather than fading partway through. For collectors who specifically look for unusual crystal habit over just color or termination style, this elongated form is worth a closer look, since most triphane at this weight doesn't stretch out this far. To see the full length and how the termination sits at the end, we'd recommend watching the video of this exact crystal.

The crystal you receive is the exact one shown in the photos and video, not a comparable piece pulled from stock. Every order ships express worldwide, backed by a 30-day return policy. You can view and purchase this specimen directly here.
If you want to compare crystal habit across sizes, we also carry a more compact yellow triphane kunzite crystal at 26 grams and a yellow triphane kunzite crystal at 34 grams, both with a shorter, more blocky habit than this elongated piece.
