Kunzite is a lovely mineral noted for its delicate hues of pink to violet. Representing a variety of the mineral spodumene, Kunzite is named in honor of one of the great gemologists, George Frederick Kunz, who described it first in the early 20th century. This mineral will create much interest by reason of its beautiful pleochroism, excellent clarity, and brilliance. Most of the time, kunzite is associated with healing on an emotional level, love, and compassion, which makes it very widely applied in fine jewelry and metaphysics. It displays soft, soothing colors in a sparkling prettiness that reserves a special place for Kunzite as loved additions to any gemstone collection.
