KUNZITE
|
Color
|
The color of Kunzite ranges from a light red to a
light violet. If the material is properly oriented it produces a fine,
delicate, pink gemstone.
|
|
Sources
|
Kunzite is found in commercial quantities in
Brazil, Afganistan, and California.
|
|
Inclusions
|
Our few specimens are chosen to be eye clean.
|
|
Care
|
Kunzite is heat sensitive and its perfect two
diminsional cleavage makes it rather fragile and difficult to facet.
|
|
Uses
|
Kunzite should only be used in a well protected
setting.
|
|
Value
|
Kunzite is moderately priced depending on the
intensity of its pink color.
