Kunzite was only identified in 1902, and it carries the name of George F. Kunz, the gem expert at Tiffany and Co.
These are raw kunzite crystals, the pink to lilac variety of spodumene, left rough so you can see the natural crystal form. There are three to choose from. Number 1 is the longest, about 3.25 inches, with a slender shape; number 2 is broader at about 2.5 inches wide; and number 3 is the most compact at about 2 inches. Kunzite owes its color to trace manganese, and it makes a meaningful gift for someone who loves pink stones or a collector adding spodumene to their shelves. You choose the exact piece from the photos.
Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. The three crystals range from about 1.5 to 3.25 inches in their largest dimensions; every size is listed below.
