Hiddenite Crystal Specimens

Among the books, decks, and stones on 14th Street is this mineral specimen: Hiddenite Crystal Specimens (shop SKU SKHI99).

Hiddenite is the green variety of spodumene, a lithium aluminum silicate, typically found as elongated crystals or fragments. In crystal traditions, hiddenite is associated with the heart and with a sense of openness. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Natural stones vary in color, clarity, and shape, so the piece you receive will have its own character even when the weight, grade, or size is listed.

• SKU: SKHI99
