A truly outstanding miniature of electric green Hiddenite, which is spodumene with a rich green color caused specifically by chromium content. This crystals is doubly-terminated and has the excellent green color in the top termination (the one I regard as top, because of its steeper, less etched termination) grading to a lighter green at the lower termination. 5 x 0.7 x 0.6 cm
