A Compact Yellow Triphane Crystal With Distinct Mountain Terminations
This 26 gram triphane crystal comes from the same Afghan ground that's known for producing this less common yellow variety of kunzite, but at a size that makes it approachable for collectors who aren't ready to commit to a larger specimen. Measuring 37 x 25 x 17 mm, the crystal shows the same mountain shape termination style seen on larger triphane pieces, a jagged, stepped formation rather than a single clean point, just scaled down to a size that fits easily in hand or in a smaller display case.
Despite the smaller size, the color and clarity hold up well, with good luster and a natural yellow tone running through the crystal. For someone building a collection focused on crystal habit and termination style rather than sheer weight, a compact piece like this one offers the same formation characteristics as a much larger specimen, just at a price point that's easier to justify for a first triphane purchase or as an addition alongside other small format pieces. To see the mountain shape termination and color up close, 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 size within the same style, we also carry a larger yellow triphane kunzite crystal at 34 grams, a good side by side for the same mountain shape termination at a bigger scale. Browse our full Triphane Crystals collection and our wider Kunzite Crystals collection for more pieces from Afghanistan. We also carry a natural yellow triphane crystal specimen at 123 grams if you want to see the same variety at a much larger size.
