Spodumene (Var: Kunzite)
Greenbushes Mine, Greenbushes Tinfield, Bridgetown-Greenbushes Shire, Western Australia, Australia
Spodumene is uncommon in Australia. Kunzite, the pink form of spodumene, is virtually unknown. This is a crystalline piece from the Greenbushes Mine in Western Australia. You can see tiny crystals under magnification. The specimen measures 110mm across and was collected by me when I was working over in Western Australia many years ago.
