LOOSE KUNZITE

A Palette of Pastel Perfection

Kunzite's soft shades range from light pink to deep purple, making it versatile for different jewelry styles. As a variety of mineral spodumene, a kunzite gem displays pleochroism, showing different colors when viewed from various angles. This adds depth to your creations, whether you prefer a subtle blush or vibrant lavender.

Plus, we offer various cuts for this kunzite gem. We have round, cushion, pear, and fancy cut. We also have different gem sizes, like a 10-piece set of Kunzite beads to larger gemstones like a 14x10 mm Martha Rocha kunzite.

Durability and Beauty

While prized for its appearance, a purple kunzite gemstone boasts a hardness of 6.5-7 on the Mohs scale. This makes kunzite jewelry suitable for various applications, from pendants to rings. With proper care, your kunzite gemstone will maintain its beauty and good symmetry, but prolonged sunlight can fade its color.

Global Origins of the Kunzite Gem

Found in various locations worldwide, including Afghanistan, Brazil, Madagascar, Pakistan, and even California, USA, each source may produce slightly different shades or qualities of the kunzite gem.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the quality grading system for a kunzite gemstone?

A kunzite gemstone is graded by the "Four Cs": color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. Vibrant pink to violet hues are most valued, with deeper colors commanding higher prices. Quality kunzite is eye-clean and free from visible inclusions. A good cut enhances brilliance, while larger carat weights increase rarity and value. These factors determine a kunzite's quality and worth.

How does the color and clarity of a kunzite gemstone affect its value and price?

Kunzite's value is largely determined by its color and clarity. Deep, vibrant pink to purple hues without brown or gray tones are most prized. Clearer stones with minimal inclusions are more desirable and command higher prices, as the kunzite clarity enhances their overall beauty and transparency.

What are the best practices for caring for and storing Kunzite gemstones to maintain their appearance and integrity?

Protect kunzite by storing it away from sunlight to prevent fading and in a padded box or cloth pouch to avoid scratches. Clean gently with mild soapy water, dry thoroughly, and avoid harsh chemicals or temperature extremes. Regularly check for damage and consider professional cleaning for upkeep.
