The Oceanview Mine is proud to offer, for the discriminating collector, a chance to own the absolute BEST kunzite specimen to come out of the Pala District, and for that matter California and the rest of the North America, in over 100 years. There is no equal in color, clarity or near perfection. It weighs 306 grams or 1530 carats. This is a fully terminated crystal measuring 9.0 cm long by 5.7 cm wide and 2.5 cm thick. This is THE ONLY ONE!
This is a superb, aesthetic, museum quality specimen with natural purple hues and is 100% natural. That means this specimen is as it was when extracted from the earth. It has not been enhanced, modified or irradiated in any way unlike other sources from around the world.
If you are a serious buyer, please contact Jeff Swanger at 760-415-9143 or via email at freespool1@cox.net for pricing. We are offering this mine direct to the future owner (museum or individual) of this world class, once in a lifetime, specimen from the world famous Pala District.
This specimen will be featured in an upcoming 2010 article on the find and documented in The Mineralogical Record magazine and the GIA Gems and Gemology magazine. The purchaser of this specimen will receive photos of the mineral specimen as well as in situ photos before it was extracted adding even more value to this unique purchase. You will be given complete provenance including a certificate signed by the mine owner and miner who extracted the specimen from the pocket on December 4, 2009.
Experts in the field agree that this is "the finest Pala specimen in existence" that is for sale in your lifetime and ours!
We also offer its siblings for sale to dealers, serious faceters and collectors as well. Schedule a visit to the Oceanview Mine site to view the available rough and specimen material.
