The light, minty green color of this specimen of hiddenite is delightful. The crystal is 1.8" long, and is terminated at both ends (one in the classic inverted V shape). The sides are deeply striated, which is a characteristic of spodumene. Also, this is a pleochroic mineral, meaning the color is most intense when viewed from the top down (or bottom up), as compared to through the sides.  This is a showy, dramatic specimen with great display aesthetics and wonderful eye appeal.
