At 34 grams and measuring 56 x 30 x 11 mm, the crystal shows an unusual mountain shape termination, a jagged, stepped formation rather than a single clean point, which happens when a crystal undergoes natural etching during or after its growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe clarity and transparency on this piece are strong, letting light travel cleanly through the crystal body rather than diffusing it, which is part of what makes triphane specimens stand out from opaque or heavily included material. The yellow color is entirely natural, with good saturation and luster across the crystal faces. Etched crystals like this one are collected specifically for their formation, since the irregular, mountain-like termination tells a different story about how the crystal interacted with its environment compared to a standard smooth point. To see the etching detail and how light passes through the crystal, we'd recommend watching the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/eLwAKpYmQ2M\"\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\u003e34 Gram\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e56 x 30 x 11 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShape\/Cut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Crystal, Etched 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, distinct from the heart-centered associations of pink kunzite.
