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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/9IL8ZfdStec\"\u003evideo of this exact crystal\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\u003e54 Gram\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e79 x 28 x 16 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\/Cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Elongated Prismatic Crystal, Mountain Shape Termination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural 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.
