Measuring 47 x 34 x 20 mm, the proportions here are close to balanced across all three dimensions, giving the crystal real physical presence in hand rather than a flat or narrow profile. For collectors who prefer a piece that feels substantial relative to its carat or gram weight, this denser habit is the more satisfying pick over a longer, thinner crystal at a similar weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe crystal is fully transparent with strong color and clarity, and the same mountain shape termination that defines triphane from this locality is present here as a jagged, stepped point at the crystal's tip. Because the body of the crystal is wider and thicker than a prismatic piece, light travels through it differently, giving a fuller, more saturated look to the yellow color when held up to a light source. To see the transparency and how the mountain termination sits on this thicker crystal form, we'd recommend watching the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/vI6hN8I44vk\"\u003evideo of this exact specimen\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"col\"\u003eInformation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e57 Gram\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 x 34 x 20 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\/Cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Blocky Crystal, Mountain Shape Termination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransparent Yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClarity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural, Gem Grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTreatment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLocality\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAfghanistan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5 to 7 (Mohs)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFamily\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpodumene (Triphane, Yellow Kunzite Variety)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGemstone Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBirthstone: Alternative birthstone for October\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eZodiac Sign: Taurus, Scorpio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChakra: Solar Plexus Chakra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealing Properties: Yellow kunzite, known as triphane, is often associated with confidence and personal clarity in crystal healing practice, tied to the solar plexus chakra.
