Kunzite is an undeniably rare and beautiful pastel pink or purple colored gemstone of the Spodumene mineral family. It is named after the gemmologist ‘George Frederick Kunz’ who discovered this gemstone in the mining locations of California in the year 1902.
Currently, Kunzite is resourced from the mines of Afghanistan, Brazil, Pakistan, Russia, Sweden, Mexico, and Madagascar. Brazilian Kunzites usually display exceptional color and clarity and, therefore, are regarded as one of the most sought-after varieties. Being a relatively durable gemstone (Kunzite hardness is 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs hardness scale), it is comfortably worn in daily wear jewelry. Australian Kunzite gemstone is comparatively more translucent and is preferred for healing purposes.
